Beautifully Written Story of Love, Loss, and Love Again

December 18, 2021

It has been a very long time since I've read a book from cover to cover in less than a day. As a wife, mom of 4 busy kids, and full-time attorney, I can barely manage time sit down to eat a meal, much less relax and read a good book. Because free time is so lacking and thus precious to me, a book really needs to be amazing for me to read it. And when I say amazing, I mean the book better catch my attention within the first 15-20 pages, or I'm out. The Last Goodbye was truly that kind of amazing...

A \"Must Read\"

April 12, 2022

To me, the hallmark of a really great book is that it makes me think beyond its pages, to its subject’s relevance in my own life. \"The Last Goodbye\" is just such a book. At the book’s core are some of the most common themes in literature – love, loss, good vs. evil, free will vs. fate, redemption – and the author taking on those weighty issues alone would have been enough to make this a really good book, but, here, the author goes profoundly further and deeper. You’ll no doubt be mesmerized,...

I Love This Book!

March 16, 2022

Hold on tight it’s going to be a ride! What starts out as a brilliant love story quickly takes you on an emotional roller coaster, between heaven and earth, and you never want the ride to end. Every page, every character, brings new twists and turns, and brilliant references to mythology and biblical texts. Get ready to loose yourself in this wonderful story, that you never want to end! I absolutely couldn't put it down. True escapism at its best! ) One person found this helpful
