The Last to See Her by Courtney Evan TateMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Last to See Her is a thriller that is truly a family affair. Sisters Gen and Meg have plans to spend one great weekend together in New York. Gen is going through a divorce from a cheating husband, and to her, Meg seems to have it all--the perfect husband, the cutest child, the great career as a doctor. Although Gen is a successful writer, she doesn't have the life that she wants to live, and when the reader finds out why, the book goes through twist after twist to give bad characters their just desserts.
While you do keep reading to wonder what happens next, the book is partly predictable. You see the things coming from a mile away, but what was truly disappointing was how neatly everything was tied in a bow at the end. Everyone seemed to get through cheating, disappearing, disappointment, and other terrible events without being scathed. This makes all of the characters unlikeable, and many readers will wish they all had been given a different ending.
