Title: The Last Goodbye

Author: Laura Pavlov, USA Today bestselling author

Narrated in duet by: Jason Clarke and Desiree Ketchum

*****Book review*****

>"Date Me Until You Hate Me"<

The animosity rolls off Bass Bennett in waves. I need a good enemies-to-lovers, and I get that with him and Briar Sinclair. 💗

Their nicknames for each other are hilarious: he's McGrumpy, she's Magpie. Even better than that is how they first meet. She's devious, I'll give her that, but it has me in stitches.

-- Book quote
"I never met a rule I didn't enjoy breaking."
-- Bass Bennett

Not only are they fantastic, but as Laura seems to master in every book of hers that I've read, the MCs are elevated by their found family and the insane and witty banter. I burst out laughing several times.

Taking it one more level is the adorable four-year-old Clover and an appearance or two by Cutler and Gracie's dog, Meatball. I love every scene they steal, wedding fever, and all. Hehehe....

I listened to the audio book. I love the narration. The narrators, Desiree Ketchem and Jason Clarke, are an absolute delight in duet! 🎧💜🎧

WOW.

Will be recommending to anyone for a #Reading slump buster! Doesn’t feel long at all, so well-paced there is narrative tension every time you pick it up, & does not go where I thought it would. 10/10 All the ⭐️.

Holding a paperback of “Lonesome Dove” by Larry McMurtry up in front of a peachy wall and some houseplants. (Snake plants and some cactus-like succulents.) the cover is mostly white sky of a black and white photo of men herding cattle on horses with their backs to the viewer. Has a sticker in gold indicating it won a Pulitzer.

It's 1949, and Caroline searches an art gallery for the next puzzle of a scavenger hunt. In it she discovers the new art movement of Surrealism...

🍊 From my debut The Orange Peel Game (currently undergoing final line edits)

#readsky #bookrecs #booksky #bookish 💙📚

Excerpt from The Orange Peel Game reads: Caroline spun into the new, emptied gallery.
It was in the surrealist section. Frames adorned with a war-time movement— trying to make sense of a time that shredded up sense like an animal. What was left was gutted and spewn across the walls and twisted into something no longer recognizable. A few Dadaisms and a few post-war pieces: Faces and limbs and melted objects and little creatures in places where they weren’t supposed to be. Caroline, like one, scampered up to her modern painting and felt again how very small and confused and out of place she was inside of this game.

Aly shared The Paddock Club by Madge Maril this week our Book Nook. This sounds so good with the female revenge/rage prospevtice but we also get a stern brunch daddy!

Have you read this one? Is it on your TBR??

To you, the reader who took a chance on my books, thank you. Whether you’ve just met my characters or followed them to the final page of a series, I’m grateful you chose to spend some of your time with them.

Thank you for your support, for every review, and for passing my stories along. A recommendation to a friend or a quiet mention in a fantasy Facebook group or Reddit thread can mean more than you realise. Behind every book is an author hoping it finds someone who enjoys it. Thank you for being that someone.

Cheers,
Simon Shugar
