A Novel
by Emma Grey
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 really 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.
"Grey's debut adult novel will break readers' hearts, taking them on an emotional ride but leaving them feeling hopeful. Grey's eloquent writing about the loss of a partner will create an ache in readers' hearts. This tearjerker will make readers cheer for the joyful ending." ―Booklist (starred review)
"Why do I feel like I've been waiting all my life to read this book? What a gorgeous, charming, funny, heart-rending, longing-filled triumph of a read." ―Katherine Center, author of Hello Stranger
"The Last Love Note is a beautifully blindsiding sort of book. A funny, touching page-turner, which I've no doubt will touch the heart of many readers." ―Hazel Hayes, author of Out of Love
