This is a slow burn mystery with a dash of a character study as well. Hannah and Bailey take it upon themselves to find out the truth about Owen. But she’s determined to find out the truth, while holding on to hope that her husband is still a good man. Hannah quickly learns that Owen is not who she thought he was. And not only that, the FBI arrests his boss and soon a US marshal and federal agents are coming to Hannah’s house to gauge Owen’s involvement and maybe even more.
Thinking this was going to be the worst of her problems, Hannah is hit with a huge curveball when Owen goes missing. She’s a woman happily in love with her husband Owen and trying to develop some type of connection with her stepdaughter, Bailey. We follow the story from the perspective of Hannah. But it’s not your typical thriller or mystery by any means. Such a page turner and kept me guessing until the end. But I’m sure it will still be great with Julia! Or even someone like Mila Kunis who I believe is the same age as the protagonist.
I have to say, after reading the novel I don’t so much envision Julia in the lead role but I could have totally seen Reese. I’ve read all the Reese picks for 2021 up until May and I have enjoyed The Last Thing He Told Me the most by far! This one has been on my radar for a while (I even selected it for a May 2021 book club pick) and I was so pumped to see Reese select this novel.Īnd in case you missed it, the book is already being prepared for a TV series with Julia Roberts in the lead role and Reese serving as executive producer.
