STARRED Booklist review for THE LAST FOREVER
Yippee! The first review of THE LAST FOREVER (coming from S&S, April 1) is in, and it's a BEAUTIFUL STARRED REVIEW from BOOKLIST! Check it out:
Can an impromptu road trip heal two broken hearts? It doesn’t seem likely to Tess, who’s lost her mother to cancer and now lives with her pot-smoking, tie-dye-wearing father; he’s well meaning, if immature. But a road trip from San Bernardino to the Grand Canyon it is. Only her father doesn’t stop there, continuing on to Oregon and then north to a small coastal town, home to his mother, Jenny, whom Tess hasn’t seen in 15 years. Her father up and leaves Tess at Jenny’s, off to who-knows-where, and she’s forced to make
sense of how to adjust to her new surroundings, while her heart remains very much at home and with her mother. Along for the ride is a rare plant—a pixiebell—which may be the last of its kind. It’s survived since Tess’s grandfather stole the seed at a party long ago and has moved with her mother through four decades; only now, under Tess’ care, it’s starting to wilt. When she meets Henry at the library, there’s an instant attraction, and together, they work to save the pixiebell. At the start of each chapter is a short, explanatory chapter about a seed, which ties into the novel’s theme of rebirth, healing, and growth. Caletti writes movingly here, particularly as Tess reflects on her mother’s final days, and offers up a surprising story about love, loss, and putting down roots in a world that’s constantly changing.
HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Caletti has a sizable fan base—and they’ll all be waiting.
