    About this audiobook

    An unforgettable story about learning to love again and living life to its fullest, perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes and Josie Silver.

    ""A poignant and uplifting read about loss, love and learning to put yourself back together again after facing the unimaginable."" —Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Next Year

    Lost love. A second chance. A hidden secret.

    Spencer was the love of Anna’s life: her husband, her best friend, her rock. She thought their love would last forever.

    But three years ago, Spencer was tragically killed in an accident and Anna’s world was shattered. How can she ever move on, when she’s lost her soulmate?

    On New Year’s Eve Anna calls Spencer’s phone number, just to hear his old voicemail greeting. But to her shock, someone answers…

    Brody has inherited Spencer’s old number and is the first person who truly understands what Anna’s going through. As her and Brody’s phone calls become lengthier and more frequent, they begin opening up to each other—and slowly rediscover how to smile, how to laugh, even how to hope.

    But Brody hasn’t been entirely honest with Anna. Will his secret threaten everything, just as it seems she might find the courage to love again?

      Probably more like 3.5. Slow to start and a bit repetitive, but an easy listen and well performed.
    • 5/5
      I enjoyed this story. And Antonia Beamish is really wonderful!
    • 4/5
      A long and winding road but worth the journey. Excellent audiobook narration too. 4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    • 1/5
      I found the story about a down and out attorney dragging on in several places. The plot was okay but didn't hold my attention enough to read about a third of the book and no more.
    • 5/5
      My Introduction to a Promising WriterReed Arvin’s second thriller is a great read. The tale begins with a crying woman. Soon lawyer Jack Hammond, is doing the crying. As a result of his love affair with a client’s girl friend, he tumbles from defending Atlanta’s corporate elite to trawling the bottom of its criminal pool for clients.The story of his journey back to personal respectability is, however more than your average thriller. It is not often that a new writer creates believable, complex characters that find themselves in poignant, often, tender relationships. It is a thriller for thinking readers. Best of all, it is story that flies. Despite Arvin’s unique insights on race, business ethics, your past burdens, science, technology and love, the story never drags.My only complaint with the book is with Arvin’s inaccurate use of stock market jargon. But if this book is as successful as I think it will be, he will not have to worry. He will quickly develop a familiarity with that specialized vocabulary as he invests his residuals and future advances.

      I was one of 20 people chosen to preview The Last Goodbye for Bookreporter.com. I was thrilled with the opportunity, even though I was unsure this would be a book I would have chosen for myself. I like mysteries, suspense, and thrillers, but would I enjoy this particular one? I hesitate to use the word slow to describe this book because the word has a negative connotation to it. Sometimes slowness in a book is appropriate and it is tied into the style of writing used. That was the case in this book. Reed Arvin has a magical way with words. His style reminded me of the old black and white movies; although I am not sure I can put my finger on why that is exactly. Mr. Arvin’s story was complex in many respects; not only was this a book about a defense attorney investigating the murder of an old friend, this is also a story about love, ethics, and race and class divisions. The characters seemed human and real.
