And One Last Thing...

By: Molly Harper

Narrated by: Amanda Ronconi

Length: 8 hrs and 23 mins

Publisher's summary

Lacey Terwilliger's shock and humiliation over her husband's philandering prompt her to add some bonus material to Mike's company newsletter: stunning Technicolor descriptions of the special brand of "administrative support" his receptionist gives him. The detailed mass e-mail to Mike's family, friends, and clients blows up in her face, and before one can say "instant urban legend", Lacey has become the pariah of her small Kentucky town, a media punch line, and the defendant in Mike's defamation lawsuit.

Her seemingly perfect life up in flames, Lacey retreats to her family's lakeside cabin, only to encounter an aggravating neighbor named Monroe. A hunky crime novelist with a low tolerance for drama, Monroe is not thrilled about a newly divorced woman moving in next door. But with time, beer, and a screen door to the nose, a cautious friendship develops into something infinitely more satisfying.

Lacey has to make a decision about her long-term living arrangements, though. Should she take a job writing caustic divorce newsletters for paying clients, or move on with her own life, pursuing more literary aspirations? Can she find happiness with a man who tells her what he thinks and not what she wants to hear? And will she ever be able to resist saying one... last... thing?

Critic reviews

"Harper brings her trademark humor and biting social comedy to this hilarious tale of heartbreak and romance, a novel that should be on the summer reading list of every woman who has been wronged." ( Booklist)

Just what I was looking for!

If you are in need of an easy, no brain cells required, comic rehash of a woman scorned then this is for you. It is a quick read and the story moves quickly, too quickly. The speed was more Lifetime movie. I would have appreciated a little more substance, some meat on the bones so to speak. Overall I have to say the book was “weak” but it suited my needs, hence the overall 4 stars.
The worst part about the entire book was the narrator. For me, her voice was a few octaves below nails on a chalkboard.

great narrator

This was a good book, just not for me. I wish I could've gotten into the humor like the others said in their reviews... I just couldn't. I would recommend though. The narrator was good and the story was cute.

absolutely hilarious

this book is a must read. It is hilariously funny and the characters are great. The narrator did a great job of bringing the characters to life. I wish there was a part two.

Ambivalent

There was no reason to stereotype gay men by giving the characters a lisp. Almost ruined the book for me.

Worth Branching Out

I love Harper’s Half-Moon Hollow books but was hesitant to leave my beloved Jane and co. I was pleasantly surprised to fall in love with different characters and found myself immersed in the story quickly.

fun

witty and funny and fun romance for straight people in a shitty marriage and want to get out

Definitely recommend!

I love Molly Harper, she always brings a level of sass and charm to her female characters that is just plain great. Sometimes authors can over do the story to the point where it comes across inauthentic, but One Last Thing flowed nicely and made sense. The banter between characters was very entertaining, I found myself chuckling out loud many times while my husband was sleeping, or at work while I was not so covertly listening. I couldn’t put it down!

Easy and entertaining enough listen

The story line was cute. A good easy listen without too much heartache. I had a hard time reconciling that such a snarky woman was so timid as a wife. and the narration of men's voices (especially the gay men), were at times too abrasive for me. All in all, a safe listen.

Hilarious!

Read/ listen to this book!!! She gives Janet Evanovich a run for her money! Loved it

Hilariously entertaining

Definitely a must read. Thought I couldn’t get over the narrator at first, and I’m a country girl. But in the end loved it. Molly’s writing with Amanda’s wit was a total blast.
