The Last Word by
A.L. Michael (received through NetGalley)
4 stars
While in her mid-twenties, Tabby has hit a slump in both
her professional and romantic life. Starting
out as a journalist, she had a promising career and a dashing boyfriend but
both vanished in a distressing turn of events.
Now she writes humorous articles to adoring fans on her blog and
twitter, lives in her pajamas and drinks a little bit too much wine. Until one day she receives a mysterious email
inviting her to interview for a real position at an online newspaper. Enter Harry, a smooth, charming and arrogant
editor that pushes all of her buttons, both good and bad. I read this hilarious book in one day and it
just put me in a great mood. The
dialogue is snappy and witty and Tabby is realistic and very funny. Harry also carried the right amount of
conceit and vulnerability to make him a perfect foil for Tabby’s occasional
craziness. My only complaint is that
Tabby almost turned unlikable towards the end with her low self-esteem and impetuousness
however, in the end she does learn her lesson and the story raps up nicely. This is a great book to lift your spirits and
I enjoyed the funny and imperfect heroine.
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
