I can’t. I’m sorry but I just can’t. Just the feels in this book. The Last Time We Say Goodbye is a beautifully woven book about Lex, or Alexis, depending on the person talking, and her life after her younger brother committed suicide.
This book is a roller coaster emotion wise. I’m going to tell you right now that this book is a tearjerker. You might want to read this alone, in private, with a tissue box nearby. For me, crying, especially over fictional characters is rare and yet I cried many times while reading this book. First it was just a few drops here and there, but by the end tears were streaming. I cried more while reading this than I did while reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. But I also found myself laughing and smiling at times too.
The Last Time We Say Goodbye really makes you think about life and appreciate your relationships with the people you love. It really made me want to run into my younger brother’s room and say “I love you” which is different from the usual “stop being such an idiot” comment.
My one problem with with plot is that I felt like there was this unwelcome twist. I also felt some things happened abruptly and seemly for no reason. Thinking back I can kind of understand why it all happened from a writer’s perspective, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.
