The Last Thing He Told Me

Gaston Tonietti

Terrible. Any Castle episode has a better plot. It only missed having a character going blind to be a proper soap opera.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BLOCKBUSTER * REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICK * SOON TO BE AN APPLE TV+ LIMITED SERIES STARRING JENNIFER GARNER * MORE THAN 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD The “page-turning, exhilarating” (PopSugar) and “heartfelt thriller” (Real Simple) about a woman who thinks she’s found the love of her life—until he disappears. Before Owen Michaels disappears, he smuggles a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her. Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers—Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother. As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss, as a US marshal and federal agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. And that Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity—and why he really disappeared. Hannah and Bailey set out to discover the truth. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen’s past, they soon realize they’re also building a new future—one neither of them could have anticipated. With its breakneck pacing, dizzying plot twists, and evocative family drama, The Last Thing He Told Me is a “page-turning, exhilarating, and unforgettable” (PopSugar) suspense novel.

Entertaining read for when you’re bored and looking for a fast read.

Fasil

I feel like this book was really underwhelming in every sense. Considering it’s in only one persons POV it starts getting really repetitive. There’s no tension that I’d expect for a mystery book to keep me on edge and I think every detail they revealed was just tossed and then moved on from so quickly.

Very 3/10 Mystery book.
The entire plot seemed very basic to me. It was as if the author had followed a particular formula to write a mystery. 
Plus the choice of narrator was really bad. It would’ve been a better novel if it had dual or multiple narrators or just someone else. It didn’t seem like the narrator was that important of a character in the entire book. A third person could be the narrator and it would still feel the same.
The plot is very basic as i said earlier. First a person goes missing and the secrets start to unravel quite easily and there is no suspense. Though the ending wasn’t that bad. 
I think you could read this if you don’t wanna read something heavy

Closer to a 2.5 rating 
Honestly I was eating this up the first third. It quickly became so unbelievable and I wish it just took a completely whimsical and fictional turn. Also the writing was def very ……

It started out a bit slow for me, but by halfway thru, I was hooked and had to know how it ended.

I wouldn't call this book a thriller. It would fit more in Drama genre.

I don't get the hype around this book. The beginning was strong and interesting, but as the story went on, it got boring and so repetitive.

This booked got my attention from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down buttt the ending was so underwhelming. Still a good read but it started off so good and then I had to slug through the ending. 

Zoe Katherine Clyde

A quick read. It's quite a fast paced book, I'm not a fan of the characters. Hannah seems to have a bit of a Dunning-Kruger syndrome and the others are flat.

This was a good thriller, with decently written twists and turns to keep readers engaged. I did not see all the twists coming, which I always like. I recommend it.

Veronica Rivera

It was just okay, fast read, entertaining but wouldn’t necessarily recommend.

Was hooked through 5/6ths of the book but the ending… I just couldn’t get behind. Last bit felt a little all over the place.
