The Last Good Seat at the Bar

Rate this book
The Last Good Seat at the Bar is a lyrical Southern story about coming home, facing ghosts, and rediscovering love.

Burned-out journalist Morgan Langford retreats to her late grandfather’s coastal cabin in South Carolina, expecting only quiet and solitude. Instead, she finds the Low Country alive with music drifting from an old record player, whispers of a presence she can’t explain, and a reunion with Ashley, the first love she thought she’d lost forever.

As Morgan repairs the cabin and unravels family secrets, she confronts the truth about her grandfather’s death, her stalled writing, and the life she still longs for. The Last Good Seat at the Bar is a haunting, hopeful tale of legacy, belonging, and the unexpected ways the past shapes the future.

Wow! What a great story. I do not think I was the target audience for this book, but the writing made it such a pleasant experience that within the first chapter I was hooked. This story flows perfectly.
It takes place in South Carolina and is about a woman named Morgan who is unhappy and rudderless. It’s about how she gets grounded by surrounding herself with those who love her unconditionally and about her best friend- Ashley from when she was growing up who for one reason or another was the one, but it wasn’t meant to be.
This book is about letting go, following your heart and finding what you no love in work, in relationships and in life. I will definitely look for other books by author!

best book I’ve ever read.

This book is has everything you could ask for in a book. It had scenes that took me back to my childhood so much that at times I had to stop and see if I were reading or remembering. It had just enough characters that kept you interested but not overwhelmed I just can’t say enough about this book. I hope she is writing a sequel and I would love a whole series.

This book had all the enjoyable components to really keep you turning the pages. You read the whole book and know what happened even though you are never really told the major story lines. Sounds strange but it worked for me. The writing format was really weird, minimal words and paragraphs per page, but I got used to it. Great setting, I want a cabin just like this.
