The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave --> Starting April 2nd, 2021

[Aly]

We all have stories we never tell.
Before Owen Michaels disappears, he manages to smuggle a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her.

Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers: Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.

As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered; as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss; as a US Marshal and FBI agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. And that Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity—and why he really disappeared.

Hannah and Bailey set out to discover the truth, together. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen’s past, they soon realize they are also building a new future. One neither Hannah nor Bailey could have anticipated.

Through Part 1
(view spoiler)[ wow, I can't imagine receiving a note like that from my hubby and him disappearing
interesting that he's left them money too, but can they use it? or will that tip feds off

and why would the US Marshall be there. Was he hiding from previous wife's like...mafia family or something?! lol

I like the MC so far, like how independent she is and how she handled both the US Marshall and the Feds. I hope she can keep strong. her step daughter is pretty rough (hide spoiler)]

Through Part 2

(view spoiler)[ Yay! Guess right, I thought the only 2 you run from like that - hide your identity - is the Mob or....the FBI
but wow, so Baily is gone.
I like the twisty way we've gotten to this story. really interesting (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha]

and I'm done
this one was SO good. I loved it!

(view spoiler)[ I can't believe she realized what she needed to do
of course we thought she would go there and beg for Owen's life...and of course she knew better than to do that

amazing that she raised Bailey and I love that we got a chapter about the far off future (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha]

and OMG (view spoiler)[ that moment when he stopped back by
UGH, tears in my eyes. (hide spoiler)]
