I am delighted to be here today as part of the Book Tour for Aimee Brown's newest book The Last Dance.
About the book
Can you truly forgive and forget?
Ambri and
Henry have been best friends forever. They've been through the highs and lows
of life with each other by their sides. The worst? When Henry's wife, and
Ambri's sister, died. Together, they can face it all. Until one night destroys
everything.
Two years
after he stepped out of it Henry walks back into Ambri's life and she's more
than a little shocked. But as old friends fall into even older habits they need
to decide whether they can forget the past and embrace their future.
Perfect
for fans of Nicholas Sparks, Jodi Picoult and Anna Bell.
Review
A lot of people think that romance novels are formulaic - which I guess they can be. However, they need to read this book, as Aimee just invented a whole new equation for that formula in the romcom genre!
This is a funny and poignant novel. So much fun in Ambri's character and the interactions with her friends Ben and Claire. Yet the sadness of her sister dying and now her best friend Henry leaving her. I just loved how Aimee flips back and forth between the story from not only Ambri's viewpoint but also Henry's. It's not often we get to read what the guy is thinking through everything that is happening. I was really hanging onto every word wondering where this was all going to end up, especially as I really liked Ambri's boyfriend Noah too.
I enjoyed this book so much, the characters felt so real. I fell in love with Ambri (and her Dad) - I kind of feel like I could hang out with her and it would be so much fun. She's such a down to earth character and this just added to my feeling of an authenticity to the story.
When I finished the book I hadn't realised at first that it had ended! I sat there just looking again and again for the next page, I couldn't believe it was over! These people will stay with me for a long time.
I can totally see this being made into a film - I'm giving it 5 out of 5 stars and my thanks go to Netgalley and the Head of Zeus for my ARC to review and inviting me to be a part of the blog tour.
