My Last Love Story

By: Falguni Kothari

Narrated by: Deepti Gupta

""At once heartbreaking, delightful, and completely unexpected. A must-read!"" —Sonali Dev, award-winning author of The Bollywood Bride

“Promise me you’ll learn to cuss, learn to love again. Live again. Promise me you won’t give up on each other.”

Simi Desai is thirty years old and her husband is dying of cancer. He has two last wishes in his final months: first, that she’ll have his baby so that a piece of him lives on, and second, that she’ll reconcile with her old flame, who just happens to be their mutual best friend. And so over the course of their last summer together, Simi’s husband plans a series of big and small adventures for this unlikely trio, designed to help them say goodbye to each other and prove to Simi that it’s okay to move on without him—and even find love again.

Beautiful and poignant, Falguni Kothari’s My Last Love Story will pull your heartstrings as only unforgettable love stories can.

Excellent

This story is much closer to the realities of love and marriage that I know, than most stories on the subject.

Also, it really unravels what you know you’ve been told and shown of a people (amazing how WE uphold and perpetuate the acceptance and normalisation of stereotypes!) versus what those same people actually live day to day in their non-stereotypical lives.

Really enjoyed the stinging sarcasm of the opening that really is the hallmark of a familiar and long relationship filled with love. And, geez, is the love in this story complexly uncomplicated and accepting. Seriously. I’ve only read ONE western novel (UK setting; yes, all UK almost) that comes close (a Barbara Taylor Bradford, I think) to being unconventional about love.

And good narration. Very good.

Indian and South American authors…really know how to wrap a story around you and you into it…definitely worth both a read and a listen!

Wow!! Great story great Narration.

I listened to a free story by the author. “The set up”It was so good that I had to check out other books that she is written. I was pleasantly surprised at “My last love story”Happy sad funny lovely One of the best books I’ve listen to.
