Well I don't often have to do this thank goodness. But I am not going to star this review.

This is a book I got from Net Galley courtesy of Thomas Nelson--FICTION when I was eager to keep clicking to read more books, I have calmed down since then thank God. I do my research if its a new author to me and make sure its something that I have at least 80% chance of enjoying.

I just didn't enjoy this.

I read it from beginning to end, but from one reader to another, it was like trudging through thick mud.
This book really needs to be worked on.

I also didn't realise how religious this book is. Yes Christian orientated but really down your throat 'get in there' type of read which for me personally was quite off putting.

There are so many subject matters that are being addressed its quite lewd.
Pornography, prostitution, addiction, abuse, stripping, suicide, public shaming, sexual addiction and financial problems that are such wide topics that this book really can't solve within its pages.

This made the story seem cheap and nasty.

Enough explained I think


I’m revisiting the books I hadn’t finished in one way or another for whatever reasons.

After reading this again, it’s an uncomfortable read in parts but I realise now that it’s Tara’s OTT reactions that got me. I fully understand why she’s so upset, I fully understand her OTT but I didn’t understand why She personalised everything about HER.

So I’ve now read it and able to let this book show up on my wall.

I never give up on a book and rate it. Personally I don’t think that fair. I do however set it aside until later.

This was very much later :(

One Last Thing was a difficult book to read. It dealt with some heavy issues and I wasn't expecting that; but, I think the book handled it well and it seemed realistic.

While I didn't like the MC right away, in the end, I grew to like her and felt bad for all the pain she went through. I also felt for Seth at times too.

All in all, a really good read, but it definitely is emotional at times.

Tara opens the Pandora's box as she walks on her fiance and discover his hidden side. A lot of houses of cards will go down from that moment. Could this be actually God's doing?

Ah, yes. And yes to this raw and real book! The authoresses are going very, very deep in this novel and they cover a lot of issues, almost no stones are staying unturned. And I like it very much. This is my second book from the tandem and I don't need any more proofs that to follow them about anything they graciously put in front of their readers.

What I love about this book is that the authoresses are on the real lookout for the true things. And are not shying from deep, honest look at the life issues. Yes, even pastors can be not the good people. Yes, you don't really know your loved ones. Yes, even the people you love are capable of sins, and big ones at that. Yes, there is cruelty in the world. Yes, there is pain and shame. Yes, the healing is not easy and certainly you need to walk the walk and not just say a couple of prayers and be fine (don't get me wrong, I strongly believe in the power of prayer. I just know that to be the true believer, you need to follow the way of the cross).
And yes, there are good people and God's people in the world. And yes, He has a plan. And He is here with us.

This book is mostly about sexual sins and their roots. Such an actual issue! I suffered with the characters. And my fingers are crossed for them to heal.
I can relate to Tara, sheltered girl loved by all who is going to realize she needs to grow up amongst all of the pain and to became a real thing. My fingers are crossed for Seth (and I even hope they can have a future together, still, just because now they really know each other). My heart goes out for Evelyn, Wendy and Alyssa.
And toast to GrandMary and The Watch! I wish to have you in my life.

Read this and be prepared for this raw and real ride - and the one stringly pointing towards hope. Let it resonate with you.
