Lucy always loved summers on Halcyon Lake--sunning on the lake raft,
relaxing on the boat, and spending every possible minute with her best
friend, Trixie, and Trixie's brother, Ben, Lucy's lifelong crush. Until
last summer, when one tragic event turned their idyllic world upside
down. Now, nothing is the same. This summer, Trixie is gone, and Ben is
distant, numbing his pain with parties and a string of interchangeable
girlfriends.
Lucy does her best to move on and avoid this cold new Ben. She throws
herself into babysitting, waitressing, and a sweet new romance with the
renter next door. But in their small lake town, forgetting the past--and
Ben--proves impossible. He still seems to be everywhere: at work, at the
movies . . . and in Lucy's heart. Lucy so wants to move on, but how can
she forgive when she can't forget?
The Last Thing You Said is a deeply felt and romantic novel about
listening to your heart and finding your path, whether that path leads
to romance, healing, or your best self.
