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)

A DELIGHT!

Trigger Warning: if your husband has had an affair, the first few chapters are gonna hurt - Ms Harper hits very close to home. However, the book is beautifully written, the characters clearly defined, and the arc of the story/timeline are believable. I laughed out loud, cried, was furious, and ultimately delighted in the ride. I was sorry when it ended.

Be prepared to laugh and laugh.

Would you listen to And One Last Thing... again? Why?

Light, entertaining, and remarkably funny. Very reminiscent of Janet Evanovich. Be prepared to laugh out loud as you listen to the story. Utterly enjoyable.

What was one of the most memorable moments of And One Last Thing...?

The "suicide rescue". Listen to it and you'll know what I mean.

What about Amanda Ronconi’s performance did you like?

Enjoyable and entertaining. A good interpretation of the characters and their voices.

Who was the most memorable character of And One Last Thing... and why?

The Goth gal who kept trying to hire the main character. A real entrepreneur.

love the book!and wish I could be as brave

I loved this book could not put it down! and loved her descriptions of her husband in her email!!

Molly Harper is adorable, as always...

As far as I'm concerned, Molly Harper can do no wrong. The characters are always funny and refreshing. And the narrator, Amanda Ronconi, is brilliant.

Sweet book..hilarious opening it cannot keep up

What did you like best about And One Last Thing...? What did you like least?

The book begins with wife sending out scathing email about cheating husband to EVERYONE about his cheating. However the author wasn't able to keep the momentum going and it was a 'nice' and predictable read after.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The email & Monroe!-most interesting.

What aspect of Amanda Ronconi’s performance would you have changed?

She did a fair to good job.

Any additional comments?

Safe, fun predictable book....not worth full price or a credit-but bought on sale and I'm content.

Love Molly Harper!

What made the experience of listening to And One Last Thing... the most enjoyable?

There was plenty of humor to offset the seriousness.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The main character was, of course, my favorite. She was funny and down to earth. Listening to her struggle while she kept her sense of humor was entertaining. Ms. Harper can make her characters shine.

What does Amanda Ronconi bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?

When listening to the book, you believe that the reader is the main character. Some times when I read rather than listen I might not put the same spin on the dialog as Ms. Ronconi does.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a lot.

Any additional comments?

Thoroughly enjoyed the book. Have gotten other Harper books since listening to this one.

And one last thing is Great!

Wonderful story from Molly Harper.
Quick wit and delightful characters.

Harper's stories always leave me satisfied.

Amanda Ronconi is the perfect narrator for Harper's literary work!

Funny!

Clever, funny and a really good story. I really like this book, although the author seemed to run out of steam in the last 20% of the book. But this modern take on the "scorned wife gets revenge by finally taking her life back" story was really well done. A fun, easy read that you won't regret.

Team Molly Harper and Amanda Ronconi!!

I have not read a Molly Harper book I didn't get a laugh and cute and absorbing story out of. I need MH and Rhys Bowen to provide entertaining entertainment! This is a very good book that made me laugh, uncomfortable, angry, and content.

This story about a woman wronged by a selfish husband, and what many wronged women would like to have the ability and chops to do. The email is hilarious, the family dynamics is familiar.

I have already listened to this again, and will many more times! That's the kind of book it is! Very credit worthy.
