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)

For me this was such a HOOT!!!

Molly Harper is the absolute QUEEN of hilarious snark!!!! Her whit is one I can totally relate too and I LOVE the narrator, Amanda Ronconi does a PERFECT interpretation of Ms. Harper's whit. In my humble opinion, there is not a better reader for Ms. Harper's books. Ms. Ronconi has her sense of humor down to a tee. This is a funny and enjoyable story about a very serious subject, DIVORCE. This is a story where the main character, Lacey ends up putting her foot (feet) in her mouth right up to her fingers, leaving only enough space to put said fingers to good use announcing her husbands affair and their pending divorce, to her husbands family, friends and his clients, when she puts her writing skills to use writing in the Accounting firms monthly newsletter (that her husband, Mike had put her in charge of ) as her platform for the big announcement.

Still snarky, but not all fun and games for Lacey who is forced to grow up and face some of the biggest decisions of her life. I love the character growth and the "there is LIFE after divorce" message that I got out of this book.

I am a big fan of all 4 (so far and hoping for more) books that Ms. Harper has written. Give her a listen and if this type of book is not your "cup of tea", try her Paranormal Vamp/Werewolf stories from her previous books, "Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs", "Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men" and "Nice Girls Don't Live Forever". If nothing else.....give the sample a listen.......I was HOOKED after the first snippet!!!!

BRAVO again Ms. Harper. I am and will remain a big fan of you snarky sense of humor!!!!

Took a chance...

With no prior knowledge of this author or narrator, the story sounded like it could be interesting, I was hoping it didn't wallow in self pity. Well, there were times I laughed hard enough to get the hiccups. A few times I was wheezing and speechless. Some characters were a bit short on, well, character. But it was very funny, the way things are when they hit so near the mark. If you want a Summer Read, even in the depths of winter, get this one!

OMG this is freaking hilarious!!!

Ok, I'm not one for liking romantic books, especially those for adults, but this one is so laugh-your-butt-off-funny!!! I listened to it at work and on several occasions I had to stop what I was doing because I was laughing so hard that I had tears streaming down my face and I just wanted to share with the girls around me! I honestly though that I would not like this book just from reading the summary alone, but gave it a chance after reading what others had to say and I'm SOOOO glad I took a chance on it. And I'll be listening to more of Molly Harper's books!

Great Book!

This book is everything you could possibly want in a romantic, light audio book. I really enjoyed it and was sorry to see it end. It definitely kept me entertained.

Laugh out loud funny!!

This book make me laugh so much that I know people that didn't know I was listening to an audiobook probably think I am crazy. I keep books on my iPhone and listen when working out so I know all the folks at the gym think I'm a loon. However, I don't care because I haven't gotten a laugh like this in a long time. I don't think this would be good for a guy but if you are female, and particularly one that is recently divorced you will love this (although I am happily married and I loved it.)

A lot of fun with a little romance and light sex mixed in. I really enjoyed.

Very Disappointed

I absolutely love Molly Harper's "Nice Girls..." series, but this book was a big disappointment. I found the main character to be really flat and uninteresting despite all the sarcastic wit which might be sarcastic, but had little wit.

I could not get passed the fact that she had married this terrible man in the first place. I did not believe or accept that she didn't realize. And then half the book was how terrible he was and her revenge which was pretty lame.

I remained uninterested in her story because her character was so nothing special and I just did not care.

Because of Molly Harper's other wonderful books and Amanda Ronconi's other excellent narrations, I was even more disappointed in this one.

Snarky Fun

I enjoyed this. The beginning was horrifying but Lacey's actions were funny. I enjoyed the story but it wasn't my favorite book of Molly Harpers. Lacey's family was very interesting and I abhor her husband but I did enjoy Lacey's journey of growing up. I liked the way the story wrapped up and it wasn't something I really saw coming. Amanda Ronconi did a very good job narrating and breathing life into the story.

Entertainment with attitude....

I have no idea how a different narrator could have pulled this book off as well Ms Ronconi. She was perfection. This story was so fun!

Very funny book!

This was a great story! I listened to this with my husband. When the story ended he said "Now that's a good book!" This is a story about a married woman who finds out her husband is cheating on her and what she does about it! I think she was definitely trying to prove the pen is mightier than the sword when she sent her revenge letter out to her husband's mailing list. This book contains lots of that snarky humor I have come to enjoy with the Molly Harper books.

Yikes

For a book so heavily pushed, it's unbearable. Had to stop 1/4 of the way through.

The narrator does the best she can with the material. But there's not much there.

The main character is as dull as the husband she wants to blame all her problems on. If the secretary hadn't been laughably stereotypically awful, there'd be no sympathy for the protagonist at all.

Within moments of her leaving her whole life behind, she's borderline obsessed with the handsome stranger next door. I couldn't be bothered to wait out the wish fulfillment of him completely falling for this dull poorly developed woman.

Ugh. The only book in nearly 200 I've ever returned. Don't waste your time.
