It a fast paced read to begin with and moves between past and present timelines. It had me engaged to begin with but it lost me somewhat in the middle as it felt extremely drawn out and a little repetitive at times. I do think it was cleverly written as I really wanted to know what was going on but I did find the outcome underwhelming. I can’t say I really cared for either of the female characters and at times it felt like Erin was throwing around accusations but with no basis for them so for the reader it came across as out of nowhere. It seemed a little far fetched at times and somewhat predictable. It was an ok read but the pace really dragged it out for me. 

Thanks to Netgalley and Random House UK for the opportunity to read and review #TheLastResort
