The Last Anniversary was my last stop on the Lianne Moriarty tour. It was yet another interesting and different story, though I didn’t love it as much as theHypnotist’s Love Story.* The story focuses on Sophie Honeywell, a single woman in her late thirties feeling the full weight of her biological clock. Sophie is known for being a great friend, always willing to entertain her couple friends with her single girl exploits, and up for whatever romantic adventure she encounters.
Still, despite her rich social life, Sophie can’t help but wonder whether or not she let Thomas Gordon slip through her fingers. When his Aunt Connie leaves her house on the family’s island to her, Sophie is shocked and unsure of why this family would possibly still embrace her after all these years? Initially unconvinced that she should take the inheritance, Sophie eventually decides to move to the island for a time, thrusting herself into Thomas’s eccentric family, and stumbling across an old mystery just begging to be solved.
