65 books2,206 followersWhen I was nine, my grandmother and her friends used to read and swap Harlequin Mills and Boons novels. When I was busted reading one, they started sneaking me boxes full of strong heroines and rugged men. Thus started a long love affair with the romance genre.
Then I discovered urban fantasy, and fell in love with broody Alphas and sexy paranormals, and combining them together was a no brainer.
Then I discovered Reverse Harem.... Oh my. Why choose, am I right?

This was a sweet little story that made me a bit emotional.
There's this service available in the book, that I wish existed in real life, where the dead's memories can be collected and played for their loved ones. Wouldn't it be remarkable to capture a glimpse of someone's life through their perspective and maybe get answers to some questions? I wish I'd had this when both my mother and grandmother died. Though I'm not sure if it's to gain some clarity over our past or just to have another moment with them. Grief is weird. Loved this. ❤

M/f. Flashbacks. Dead parent. Loss. Sadness.
This book was strange. The main couple didn't really seem to connect enough for me. While she's watching her mothers memories, you really feel the love. I cried.

Title The Last Note
Author Grace McGinty
Description from Amazon
Harper’s relationship with her mother, Evie, had always been strained and filled with secrets. But when Evie dies of breast cancer, Harper feels lost. There was no more time to make peace and get answers to questions that had plagued her for her whole life.
That is, until Knoxfeld Long, her mother’s stupidly attractive lawyer, turns up on her doorstep with the chance to find out exactly what she’s always wanted to know: Who is her father?
Evie had left her only daughter an expensive Memory Reconstruction, allowing her the chance to live her mother’s memories for a few days, and get swept up in her parents’ whirlwind romance.
But as they delve further into the past, Harper has to ask herself if she really wants to know, or if some questions are better left unanswered.
Initial Thoughts
I don’t normally read contemporary books but since this one has a sci-fi twist, I thought I’d give it a shot. Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an ARC.
Some Things I Liked
POVs – I loved that this book switched back and forth between Harper and her mother, Evie. It gave the story a richness that couldn’t have been captured from just one woman’s perspective.
Knox – what a character. I really can’t say more without spoilers but he was just perfect.
Realism – everyone in this story isn’t perfect. The ending was lovely, but it wasn’t one of those, everyone is perfectly happy endings. People got hurt and they had to work through it. It was so real and for that reason, so emotional.
Series Value
I feel like this book is a solid stand alone story. While I loved the characters, I think the overall plot is completed and I would be happy if it stayed that way.
Final Thoughts
I loved this book. I really don’t go for emotional books but this one was just perfect. I loved the descriptions of Harper and Evie’s relationship and it was a fascinating concept to see Harper meet her father through her mother’s eyes. This book gave me all the feels. I laughed, (almost) cried (I probably would have cried if I wasn’t at work while I was reading this one), and rooted for these characters. I thought I knew where the plot was going, but I was pleasantly surprised with Grace McGinty’s ability to surprise me.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Recommendations for Further Reading
Madame Tussaud’s Apprentice by Kathleen Benner Duble – I know, I know, The Last Note is not historical fiction, but it’s a story about a mother/daughter relationship and that’s exactly what Madame Tussaud’s is about. If you enjoyed the realism of the story and the relationship between Evie and Harper, give this book a try.
Ink, Iron and Glass by Gwendolyn Clare – again, if you liked the mother/daugher element of The Last Note, give this book a try. The main character, Elsa, has to navigate her mother’s past in order to save her.
Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young – if you liked the “finding your own family” element of this story, do yourself a favor and read Sky in the Deep.

True love, whether good or bad, is worth experiencing!
HOLY. CRAP..
This was intense. This was unlike anything I have read from Grace McGinty and it was brilliant. The rawness and emotion you felt the entire book was ridiculous. It cut you right to your core. It felt like you were right next to Harper watching those memories of her mother pass by and seeing Evie and Jackson fall in love for the first time. Even watching how it ended....This book cut deep. I’m still emotional just trying to leave this review. The heartfelt love Evie had for Jackson and how she wanted Harper to experience just that, was amazing. I’m so mad I haven’t read this book before.
Then Harper and Knox. I’m so glad the author added that character. I think Knox helped add to the true love feelings that were portrayed in this book. I’m always wanting more, I need a 5 yr epilogue of Harper and Knox and all of their babies and happy family-ness or something, maybe even a rendezvous at “Tight A** Tuesday” 😂. Lol. I really loved this book!
*Overall 5/5
*Heat? This was unlike any McGinty book I’ve read and their wasn’t really any heat, BUT 5/5 on the romance scale. It was true love at its finest. Get ready to have some tissues.
*Harper and Evie’s POV
*HEA? While this took a lot to get to, I would say Harper is definitely in the HFN area. (Maybe we can get a little novella where it’s an official HEA?? Lol) 😉

First I want to say I was one of the lucky few who got an e-arc of The Last Note! And all opinions are my own :)
The only "con" I'd say (which isn't really a con, just a personal thing), is that the characters fall into the trope of "inhumanely attractive males" and "swooning, breathless, stumbling females". That particular part gave me 50 Shades of Grey vibes, which isn't up my alley, but that's just me! But if you also aren't into that type of situation (I just mean oddly high amounts of lust between characters from the start), you should still give this book a try because the plot itself is interesting, and I have no regrets!
NOW TO WHAT I LIKED!
I haven't read anything that isn't fantasy or full sci-fi or dystopian in a looooooong time (big Colleen Hoove and Tarryn Fisher fan!), so this was a fun book to get into. Following two timelines was so much fun--I've always been a sucker for multiple POVs. Evie and Harper are both cute, quirky characters with a lot of longing and pain and love, making them very human and relateable. Grace did an incredible job in making the two obviously related but also so different and unique! I felt like they could've been best friends in another life...maybe even kindred spirits. Also the idea of being able to delve into someone's memories is very interesting and reminded me of Black Mirror, which I love!

One of the best I’ve read this year
This book was an amazing roller coaster ride. Told from two points of view, the writing is so rich I would get sucked in and forget about the other point of view, then it would finish and I would get sucked into the other. It hit very close to home, so there were many many tears, but as much as my husband kept saying stop reading it, I just could not put it down. I needed to know what happened and how it ended. Not quite how I though it may but I wasn’t disappointed at all. I can not recommend this story highly enough.

Removed my soul and replaced it forever changed
I have a lot of issues that are certainly different but hold echoes of this story nonetheless. Grace, I’m sorry for whatever you’ve been through that allows you to connect on this level.
This book of horrific loss was beautifully written. I sobbed for over an hour. Deep, heart wrenching sobs; gasping for air through the melancholy choking me. Just typing this review, I find myself tearing up repeatedly.
Despite this, I’ll be eternally grateful. I’ll never forget this story. For once, the fantasy of a pretty ending isn’t what captured me. The love and tragedy I lived through within your words will stay with me forever.
Since this is a review of the novel and not an expose I’ll say this - if you’ve ever had someone crucial ripped from your life, been repressed by grief or felt the weight of love lost violently… “The Last Note” will expose and explore those scars in ways that will leave you breathless.
Thank you, Ms McGinty.

Wow, this was beautiful…
All this needed was a final edit and this would be 5 stars! What a fantastic story, and such a beautiful flow between Harper and Evie’s stories.
There is so much love in this story. All of the kinds that you can think of, like best friends, family, and romantic love. Harper has just lost her mother, Evie. All her life, she has wanted to know about her father, and this is the story of how she finds him. The love of her mother for her father was so strong and special that she couldn’t relive her memories for her daughter. This is really difficult for any of us that lost our other half, and the feelings described are incredibly powerful and accurate.
Honestly, I wasn’t sure I could handle this. But the way this author wrote about the mother and father was so profound. The way that the mother’s memories are retrieved and screened for her daughter is science fiction. I’m pretty sure this doesn’t exist in the real world. But what an amazing idea to use as the source of the memories.
KU read, and highly recommended. This was beautiful…

I have read quite a few of Grace's books, and I can truly say that this book is so much different than any of the others I have read.
Its packed full of raw and real emotion. A story of a girl who finally gets to meet her father through the memories of her recently deceased mother. It was compelling and draws you in from page one. You can feel every emotion, every detail written in the pages.
The only downfall is that sometimes because this is told in Harpers point of view it goes from her chapters, where it is in first person, to the chapters about her mother, where she is also the narrator, and sometimes that got lost and the point of view was mixed up for a sentence or two. It threw me off sometimes, but most of the time I didn't really notice it. With just a good edit, it would be absolutely perfect.
Loved the ending, I wasn't sure how it was going to have a good ending, but as always Grace knows what we need, and delivered beautifully.

Harper Barry, Knox Long, Evie, & Jackson
I'm still new to Grace McGinty's work, but this is nothing like the last book I read by her which was The Daymakers. That being said I enjoyed both.
The stories are not similar, but the emotion is there in both, this one more so since it deals with loss. Harper's mother Evie has just died at the beginning of this story, and she finds out that Evie has left her a memory reconstruction. She can pick one topic from her mom's memories to view. Since she's always wanted to know about her father, that is what she chooses as her submit.
The outcome of that was obvious, however, the journey is not to be missed. So, in the end you essentially get a book that was all about love, even during and through loss/grief.

Such a beautiful, heartbreaking story
I really wasn't expecting to cry so much reading a Grace McGinty book. It was such a touching story. I will not forget it any time soon.
Harper has just lost her mom when a lawyer comes to her door telling her that her mother had purchased a service that allows remaining relatives the ability to see their lost loved one's memories. (A little bit of sci-fi...)
Harper had never known her father, and these memories were her chance to get the information about him that her mother refused to give her while alive.
There is no spice in this story beyond kissing, but it is so worth reading. It is a beautiful, sad story that ends on a happy note.
Highly recommend!

Ok so I recently met Grace McGinty and bought a paperback of this story from her, but I really wasn't sure if I would connect with this storyline.. but I can confirm that I was hooked from first to last pages of this book!
Harper is going through one of the worst thongs you could imagine when lawyer Knox turns up on her doorstep and throws her for a loop.
This story line was something so different from what I've read before and that's what kept me truly invested in reading.
This is a jumble of emotions that just keeps you along fir the ride with Harper and mum Evies story.
Already downloaded another of this authors story's to read soon!

I hate this book man. Like actually really really hate it, I cannot stand a single thing about it. I hated it since I begun it but I wanted to continue on because I thought maybe I could push through. I did push through but I wish I hadn’t. like, i really, really wish i had dnfed. I hated the characters, they were all boring. I hated the plot, that was not a single thing in it that interest me. I really didn’t see very many good qualities of the book, but I guess I can see how someone could like it. Just really wasn’t the book for me I guess. Check it out if you want to do and if you don’t, i’m not gonna tell you what to do. love you all.

You’ll need some tissues!
This story pulls you in from the get go. I was only going to start it before bed and ended up reading it all the way through. It’s hard to write what I want to say without giving things away. Harper deals with loss and then is able to learn thing from her past in a way that is so awesome. She has Know by her side the whole time she gets to learn about her past, creating a bond. I will leave the rest for you to read yourself. Just know this story is amazing and will pull at your heartstrings!!

I'm not crying. You are 😭
What an emotional roller coaster. I cried so much through this story. It pulled at the heartstrings. And bow my eyes feel like sandpaper and are swollen. Halfway through, I sorta guessed what was going to happen, and I wanted to stop and keep going at the same time. I think Harper and Know should have gotten their own story because this felt like it was Evie and Jackson's. But I still loved it so much, even though I hated getting that emotional. That just shows the writer did an amazing job

What a wonderful story.
This book pulled at my heartstrings. The concept of being able to watch someone's memories after they die is amazing. I didn't think that this was my type of book until someone talked to Grace about it on Facebook. I loved it, even if it did make me ugly cry. It is now one of my favourite books, close to the Darkriver series even though they are so different .

This was a most awesome story!!!!! I totally cried - my heart was so full. I felt so much for the characters and just don’t understand why more people have not read this book. Thank you Ms. McGinty for writing this story. I know that we have to suspend reality on the science of “seeing” someone’s past memories after they are gone but wow, if we could. I could not recommend this story enough (I loved some of my heartstrings being twanged).

So touching
I've read every single book that I can get my hands on from Grace, well I do have one short story left.
Of all of these books this is the only one that made me cry.
I won't say why because it will ruin everything for you, just know that as you read this one you will feel it deep down in your bones.
I both love and don't so much love so of the events but life is life and unfortunately some people have stories that are so utterly unfair, but beautiful.

Heart touching
This was a hard read for me. Not because there was anything wrong with the story or the writing, but because I had to stop every so many chapters to stop crying and catch my breath. This was a beautiful tragic love story within a love story. I wish there really was a way to experience the memories of our lives ones.

Grace is a newly found author for me and I absolutely love her books.

Amazing!!
I haven’t wrote a book review in a long time but I couldn’t let this one go.. I read this book in 3 hours and it was an exceptional read.. The love Jackson and Evie had for each other was beautiful the stuff of dreams. Grace McGinty is an amazing writer.. I hope you continue to read her other books they are amazing as well ❤️

worth a tear or 2
Tear jerker for sure. Delt with grieving and learning the hard truths about parent and child relationships. As a kid how we view our parents is usually through the lense of a kid. Once we are older and we get more info about said past we realize sometimes our parents were truly doing the best that they could while dealing with so much more than we knew about.

A beautiful, heartbreaking love story
I won’t spoil your experience by dropping details, but grab your tissues and find a cuddle buddy for when you’re done. This is the most beautiful dual love story I think I’ve ever read. Absolutely magnificent. I couldn’t put it down. And the ending was fantastic!

I only picked this book up because someone in my book club read it and they said it made them cry. So obviously I had to read it. Plus it was short so I could get through it quickly.
I made it all the way to chapter 18 before I started bawling, even though I saw it coming. It was so emotional but I loved it. I love a book that will make me feel.
I should also should mention this is a closed door romance so no spice but I wasn’t disappointed.

I have officially cried enough for today!
This! This story is heartbreakingly raw. It is two peoples stories both equally important and full of introspection. Ultimately it is about making family and showing up of those you love. Be prepared to smile, laugh, and yes cry. Tissues optional.

Spoilers....It was ok. I guess I didn't really understand what I was getting into. I thought it was a romance with a HEA. And I guess it kind of was. The problem was, the couple that has the romance is not the one with the HEA. We see the development of the parents relationship. But we get a HEA of Harper but only 5 days of interaction with Knox. Kind of strange and honestly? depressing.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
