IT WAS THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME: PROTECT HER

Before Owen Michaels disappears, he manages to smuggle a note to his new wife, Hannah: protect her. Hannah knows exactly who Owen needs her to protect - his sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. And who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.

As her increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, his boss is arrested for fraud and the police start questioning her, Hannah realises that her husband isn't who he said he was. And that Bailey might hold the key to discovering Owen's true identity, and why he disappeared. Together they set out to discover the truth. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen's past, they soon realise that their lives will never be the same again...

Well written, good plot

Reviewed in Australia on 20 July 2021

Verified Purchase

The writing style of this book kept me interested, the author knows how to tell a story.
I enjoyed the plot because it moved along sensibly and believably. I do not enjoy mysteries that use concocted drama to create a false tension. The only time I thought this may be happening, it turned out to be a logical progression in the plot.
I did find the ending satisfying and believable. Good book.

Highly overrated, poorly written

Reviewed in Australia on 12 January 2022

Verified Purchase

I can't believe the overwhelmingly positive reviews for this book. At times when I disagree with rave reviews for books I put it down as 'not my cup of tea', but this was just a genuinely terrible book.

The author some how didn't develop a single likeable character in the whole book (I was actively rooting against the main character for a majority of the book). The plot is wildly unbelievable and plain stupid. Nothing is developed in enough detail to make much sense and the whole plot feels rushed. The writing style is immature and makes for a very boring read as the author 'tells' instead of 'showing'. Some of the vocabulary choices in the book are unnecessary to the point of not making sense in their own context.

I really struggled to finish this book (in the midst of isolation with nothing else to do). Save your money and read something else.

A real page turner from the get go

Reviewed in Australia on 1 September 2021

Verified Purchase

A newly married wood turner comes home from work to be told by a teenager she’s never met that her husband isn’t coming home. How she navigates this news with her step daughter with whom she is deeply unpopular, together with breaking news of the fraud scandal at her husband’s place of work is a deft and diverting thriller which you’ll want to read in one sitting. A great lockdown read.

Interesting direction for a mystery book. Complex background is revealed towards the last few chapters. Relationship with a teenager is explored well. Interesting comments on witness protection, fraud, computerised facts about a person.

SO GRIPPING

Reviewed in Australia on 18 September 2021

Verified Purchase

SO UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPACT THAT LOSING A PARENT CAN HAVE ON A CHILD. A PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER THAT IS SO WELL TOLD YOUR INTEREST IS HELD EVERY MINUTE.
THE MAIN CHARACTER IS SO ASTUTE. HER EMPATHY IS SO BELIEVABLY GROUNDED IN HER OWN EXPERIENCE AND HER INTELLIGENCE. SHE OUTWITS THE MAIN PLAYERS IN THE DRAMA OF THE STORY BASED ON HER INNATE GOODNESS AND HER BELIEF IN HER UNDERSTANDING OF THE MAN SHE LOVES.

Reviewed in Australia on 7 June 2021

A book with an ending that is not predictable. Not tied up in a moralistic bow, the storyline was fast thought provoking and interesting. What would I do in a situation like this, would I be clear thinking enough to understand the choices. I will remember this book. Thank you Laura.

Good page turner

Great read, really enjoyed the book. I had it on audio and couldn't wait to see what happened (I only listen to audio on the car) so bought the book so I could read it quicker! I hadn't read Laura Dave before but will be looking into her other books now

Did Reese really read this book? I have my doubts.

Reviewed in the United States on 18 May 2021

Verified Purchase

This has got to be the most surprising disappointment of a book. Who are all these 5 star reviewers? The writing was boring, the characters flat, it was repetitive, contrived.. The author created suspense by basically not telling you anything forEVER. And the daughter whom the protagonist, Hannah, was to protect? Complete brat. She was just miserable ALL THE TIME and yet, Hannah, to the point of obsequiousness, is constantly trying to win her over and every page has some melodramatic prose about her heart breaking wide open or being thrilled with the slightest act of grace from the obnoxious brat in need of protection. Why was daughter so entitled to be miserable and rude while being raised by doting dad in Sausalito of all places? Dad just shrugs, Hannah tries harder because she is, IDK, spineless? But wait until you get to the part where we find out what daughter is being protected from! It's so absurd, so implausible that hurling book at wall seemed reasonable. Hannah is just a constant pillar of deep introspection and moral superiority. She's going to devote her whole life to said brat. Also, Grady, the US Marshall character? No! No, he would not have spent over a decade personally invested in the life of the son-in-law of an ex con and he most certainly wouldn't have worn a baseball cap on backwards in every appearance he makes in the novel. What grown man in law enforcement walks around in his professional life with a baseball cap on backwards? Was that supposed to be charming? Because I see that backwards cap on any man's head and I want to knock it the heck off.

The only pleasure I got out of this book is the cathartic experience I'm having writing this review and arriving at the sound decision of never buying a Reese Witherspoon book club pick again. And if she produces or stars in the film or series version, I'll never forgive her or watch Walk the Line again for like the 12th time.

Calling an editor

Reviewed in the United States on 8 May 2021

Verified Purchase

Since I’m only just starting this book, I will give it 3 stars for now based on the two editing errors I’ve already stumbled over: 1) “She leans in and puts the whole bite in her month.” Month? And 2) “And I feel happy, for a just a second.” For a just a second?

Suspend Disbelief

Reviewed in the United States on 6 May 2021

Verified Purchase

I never liked books where you’re asked to suspend your disbelief and this is one of them. They lost me when they went looking for Owen in Austin, TX. I have so many “why” questions... would Bailey really want to have a relationship with her grandfather after what he’s done to her father? Would a woman give up her husband to save his daughter? Why didn’t they just leave the country together? So many questions.

Underwhelming

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2021

Verified Purchase

This was a fast-paced read, it was quite gripping and I finished it quickly. But there were fundamental issues like
1. The lack of suspense- even though the story has promise, it’s not really exciting. There’s no antagonist chasing Hannah (main character) trying to cover the truth or any meaningful confrontation
2. It didn’t seem believable- it just so happens that the main character (a wood turner) is also a mock detective with killer instincts, ALL of which work out in this book. Not one wrong turn. Recalling and deciphering a memory from months and sometimes years ago. It all happened far too easily to seem plausible, and there was no real chase. Hannah discovers everything within two days (the majority of the book taking place in 3-4 days)😕
3. The flat ‘climax’ in which we find out what happened to Hannah’s husband and his ‘sordid’ history- This was so uncreative and not really all that interesting. When I read this ‘plot twist’ I thought ‘is that it? That’s all??’

It is an easy read and it was intriguing but I kind of finished it going ‘meh’. I would never recommend this to a friend saying ‘oh my gosh this book is so amazing, you should definitely read it’.

Sorry, I really fail to see how this has so many good reviews. I kept reading waiting for the twist, waiting for the big thing to happen and it never did. Waste of my time, don’t bother with this one.
