Honestly, this is such a hard one for me to write a review because I have no idea what to think about how everything is wrapped up. I t4 stars for now
Honestly, this is such a hard one for me to write a review because I have no idea what to think about how everything is wrapped up. I think there was a ton of hype surrounding this book and certain aspects, so I went in with different expectations.
Alix is a true crime podcast host and meets her "birthday twin" Josie at a restaurant one night. Josie convinces Alix that she should have her as a guest on her podcast since she has a lot to unveil about her life and thinks her audience may find what she has to say interesting.
The book starts off as more of a domestic drama that eventually evolves into suspense and mystery. I've received some DMs saying that the book is slow for some readers, and I think it's because the plot doesn't really pick up until about halfway in.
Where the book excels is in its character development and storytelling. You will question everyone and their motives, which makes it a fun read and a great discussion! There are interviews, news stories, and other clips throughout that make it feel like you're watching a Netflix special and really bring the story to life.
This is the perfect read if you love podcasts (HIGHLY suggest the audio), true crime, or if you're looking for a new book club pick!...more
Wow, what a whirlwind! I've been dying to read The Last Thing He Told Me ever since @readwithjulesandbre and @bookedwithemilee gave it high 4.5 Stars!
Wow, what a whirlwind! I've been dying to read The Last Thing He Told Me ever since @readwithjulesandbre and @bookedwithemilee gave it high praise back in April! So when I saw it was May's @bookofthemonth I knew I had to get it!
Hannah's husband, Owen, disappears one day without a trace. As she tries to piece together what is going on with stepdaughter Bailey, they both start to figure out that Owen may not be who they thought he was.

i guessed two of the major twists (and by guess i mean that i wholeheartedly knew) but there were lotsss of twists and turns in this one so i wouldn't say that it took away from the story.

Ngl I could be picky and deduct a half star for a few things but nahhh I had too much freaking fun reOkay this book had no business being this good!!!

It had everything I am looking for in a thriller and I am still riding off of that high!! It is quick, fast paced, not too outlandish, had some twists I didn’t see coming … seriously, what more can I ask for in a thriller!?
I *highly* recommend going into this one blind and ignore any book comparisons (seriously those of you who are comparing this book to other books are just giving the plot away and it’s rude ...more
i still stand that this series sometimes has a little *too* much going on. a ton of twists, a lot of characters, and some small side plots. because ofi still stand that this series sometimes has a little *too* much going on. a ton of twists, a lot of characters, and some small side plots. because of that, i felt a little lost/confused at time when i first picked this one up. once i got into my groove i ended up flying through it!
if i'm being picky, the ending was a tiny bit lackluster, but still satisfying.
overall a satisfying conclusion to a super fun series!...more
