A December Indie Next Pick A Book of the Month Selection A Washington Post Noteworthy Book You may never stop loving the one you lost. But you can still find love again. Kate is a bit of a mess. Two years after losing her young husband Cameron, she's grieving, solo parenting, working like mad at her university fundraising job, always dropping the ball-and yet clinging to her sense of humor. Lurching from one comedic crisis to the next, she also navigates an overbearing mom and a Tinder-obsessed best friend who's determined to matchmake Kate with her hot new neighbor. When an in-flight problem leaves Kate and her boss, Hugh, stranded for a weekend on the east coast of Australia, she finally has a chance, away from her son, to reall...y process her grief and see what's right in front of her. Can she let go of the love of her life and risk her heart a second time? When it becomes clear that Hugh is hiding a secret, Kate turns to the trail of scribbled notes she once used to hold her life together. The first note captured her heart. Will the last note set it free? The Last Love Note will make readers laugh, cry, and renew their faith in the resilience of the human heart-and in love itself.

Review by Library Journal Review

In the wake of her own husband's death, Grey (Tilly Maguire and the Royal Wedding Mess) has penned her first adult novel, a poignant story of love and loss. Kate Whittaker finds herself a single mother after her husband, Cam, dies of early-onset Alzheimer's, leaving Kate and their toddler, Charlie, behind. Kate is managing--just--but when a work trip grounds her and her boss Hugh on a sunny beach on the east coast of Australia, she finally has a chance to sort out her grief and embrace the future she desires. The story is partly told via the neon-colored sticky notes Cam used to remind himself of details both mundane and important as his memory faltered. Kate can't bear to part with them until she reaches the very last note. Grey incorporates many rom-com elements into the plot, but the novel is most impactful when addressing the unrelenting messiness of life and death and the support system that Kate has in her mother, friends, and coworkers. Australian actor Leeanna Walsam does a beautiful job differentiating between characters, many of whom speak over the phone. VERDICT An affecting, gentle rom-com that will pull listeners right in.--Laura Trombley
