The Last Love Note by Emma Grey

4.0

Have you ever read a book, not cried during, but then sobbed after? That's a bit where I was when I finished this one. I read the author's note that this was loosely based on her husband passing away in 2016 and my heart broke for her. 

Losing her husband when she was 38 years old was never the plan for Kate Whittaker. But that's what happens to Kate and her young son Charlie. The two soldier on through the throes of grief and fortunately, her boss and Cam's close friend Hugh is there for them both. On a work trip that goes awry, Kate and Hugh end up staying in a cottage for three days, just the two of them. It's there that the reality of her loss and her situation with Hugh finally come to Kate. Now she has to decide if moving on and being happy like Cam wanted is something she wants too. 

This was definitely not your conventional romance read, but somehow was quite possibly more romantic than most. That sounds strange to say but the love that Kate and Cam had was so sweet and moving and the way he wanted more for her, and so did Hugh, was everything.
