What readers think of The Last Time They Met, plus links to write your own review.

I thought by the ending that Linda’s death was figurative, since Linda was lost to Thomas from that point basically until coincidence brought them back together. He admits that after not receiving notes back after the accident, he could have looked harder for her. He (in some capacity) grieved and moved on. I felt very sad and figured it true that Thomas killed himself after the meeting later in life, since they implied to truly reconcile but initially Linda didn’t have any idea how to go about that. Didn’t even know how to tell her kids about him. I imagine she DID NOT die in the wreck, however he did take his own life having such grief after the loss of his daughter and not getting a Linda after all. Thoughts ?

Totally confused by ending, kept rereading it wondering what I had missed. Just kinda sorry I spent time reading it & so disappointed & confused by ending. She is a good writer but too heavy for my taste.

I really like the way the write describes Hull , Ma. I can almost smell the ocean air...It really feels like you are at the beach & the small town feel rings true. I can't put this book down .

A friend sent me the book and I would have liked to rave about it but I wasted my time by reading it. It is banal from start to finish.

The prose is acceptable; the depth is not. It's difficult to believe other readers fell in love with it. The Last Time They Met is not fine literature. I honestly can't call it thus.

Will someone PLEASE tell me if Linda Fallon is dead or not. Was the first part of the book a figment of Thomas' imagination? I liked the complexity of the relationships, but the book left me confused. What happened to Regina and Peter? Good Grief.

You won't find any clues leading to what happens in the end...at least not in this book. However, in "The Weight of Water," Jean says that Thomas killed a girl once, in a car crash when he had been drinking, as a teenager.

I thought this book was very good reading... however, the ending was STUPID!

I absolutely loved this book but was astonished and left agasp by the ending. I'm still not totally sure what happened. I was so caught up in these characters lives that I feel almost lost after reading the ending. Was the beginning of the book only in Thomas's imagination? Or is there some other meaning to the ending i am just not getting?
