He never understood that I wasn't scared of someone leaving me. I was scared that the wrong person would stay.

La bine şi la rău. Este înțelegerea pe care trebuie s-o semnăm iar și iar ca să păstrăm dragostea. Nu ne facem că nu vedem acele aspecte ale personalității pe care nu vrem să le vedem. Indiferent cât de mult sau de puțin ne ia să le descoperim. Le acceptăm dacă suntem destul de puternici. Sau le acceptăm destul cât să nu le lăsăm să acapareze întreaga poveste.

It’s a terrible thing to know everything about someone long after you want to.

In the dream he was taking off his wedding ring “Look, Hannah, he said. Now you've lost me too.”

Owen's note is short. One line, its own puzzle. 

If it sounds like a sob story, it isn't. Of course, it isn't ideal to have your mother all but disappear. It certainly didnt feel good to be on the receiving end of that choice. But, when I look back now, I think my mother did me a favor exiting the way she did-without apology, without vacillation. At least she made it clear: There was nothing I could have done to make her want to stay.

And I know if there is ever a moment I could vomit all over the place, it's now. Which is what I do.

You are not either the way you just behaved 

"Owen's not who you think he is” he says. Then Grady Bradford is gone.

The Western Texas branch of the U.S. Marshals office. Located in Austin, Texas.

“Hannah? Are you still there?" “No," I say. “Not anymore."

You know with all those weird moments you should have realized something is off way earlier

“Do you know anyone who went to Roosevelt High in Texas?" he said. "Like a cousin or something? You've got to at least be related." Owen smiled, gently. “Sorry, buddy," he said. "Hate to disappoint you, but I'm not even close to the right guy."

“Why does a U.S. marshal based in Austin, Texas, come all the way to San Francisco seeking out someone who isn't a suspect?” "And I need to know why you're lying to me about Owen calling you when he obviously did not."

I feel like this book was really underwhelming in every sense. Considering it’s in only one persons POV it starts getting really repetitive. There’s no tension that I’d expect for a mystery book to keep me on edge and I think every detail they revealed was just tossed and then moved on from so quickly.

I wasn’t impressed with this book and after reading some of the reviews, I’m glad I’m not alone. The beginning was interesting and I wanted to know why Owen ran but then as the story started to unfold, it didn’t really capture my attention anymore.

Very 3/10 Mystery book.
The entire plot seemed very basic to me. It was as if the author had followed a particular formula to write a mystery. 
Plus the choice of narrator was really bad. It would’ve been a better novel if it had dual or multiple narrators or just someone else. It didn’t seem like the narrator was that important of a character in the entire book. A third person could be the narrator and it would still feel the same.
The plot is very basic as i said earlier. First a person goes missing and the secrets start to unravel quite easily and there is no suspense. Though the ending wasn’t that bad. 
I think you could read this if you don’t wanna read something heavy

It started really well. I was hooked and so curious, but then from the middle onwards was just meh...
It wasn't a thriller at all but just a mystery in my eyes

Closer to a 2.5 rating 
Honestly I was eating this up the first third. It quickly became so unbelievable and I wish it just took a completely whimsical and fictional turn. Also the writing was def very ……

It started out a bit slow for me, but by halfway thru, I was hooked and had to know how it ended.

I wouldn't call this book a thriller. It would fit more in Drama genre.

I don't get the hype around this book. The beginning was strong and interesting, but as the story went on, it got boring and so repetitive.

I don’t know how to say the right thing about it but I really expected SO much more… Like… Please…? This book was talked in almost everywhere and even got movie adaptation but I don’t know :( maybe it just doesn’t really close to home.

It’s more like a suspense family drama since I didn’t find any detective evidence or such that for me personally are SO crucial in many particular thriller books. Nontheless, if you want to a heartfelt story to find your father and the faith of mother connection, this book is really for you. Still worth to read but maybe I wouldn’t talk about it that often!

This booked got my attention from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down buttt the ending was so underwhelming. Still a good read but it started off so good and then I had to slug through the ending.

The concept of this story is great and at some parts it really drew me in but overall it was disappointing. I found it really slow to get in to the twists and turns and the ending was a bit underwhelming. The story of Owen felt unfinished.

A quick read. It's quite a fast paced book, I'm not a fan of the characters. Hannah seems to have a bit of a Dunning-Kruger syndrome and the others are flat.

This was a good thriller, with decently written twists and turns to keep readers engaged. I did not see all the twists coming, which I always like. I recommend it.

Lara Engle

Dramatic, compelling, and surprising, The Last Thing He Told Me was a speedy, fun read. The mystery seemed like it didn't belong in a domestic drama, but it all fits together well for a satisfying read.

This book was great!!!! The plot was great and i loved how new characters entered the story. Now Gary the US Marshall got on my last nerves like…. we don’t want you here, i knew he was off from the beginning but anyhow…. if there is another book that goes with this story plz lmk because we need to know how their life went on afterward. It would have been nice, however, to here some of Owen’s perspectives so that the backstories would align and be more interesting. Also, i might’ve missed it in the book, but what happened to Owen like people said that he died but i didn’t read that part idk but the book was good and would definitely recommend!

Guys istg i finish reading and I forget to update it up here

The mystery was alright tbh I just wished there was a much more cooler ending to it than him just going away from their lives forever like that

It was just okay, fast read, entertaining but wouldn’t necessarily recommend.

Was hooked through 5/6ths of the book but the ending… I just couldn’t get behind. Last bit felt a little all over the place.
