Helpful Score: 1

Anita Shreve's books are always thought provoking and her style is not like any other. The Last Time They Met is one of her best works in my opinion. I will admit that I found the first part of the book a bit slow and sometimes confusing but I read on and I am so glad that I did. Once I got to the second section (the book is written in 3 sections) I couldn't put it down. The ending is a complete surprise. I didn't see it coming until it was there! This is one of those books that has you thinking back about what you have just read and wondering... "where were the signs"? Thomas, one of the key characters first appears in Shreve's earlier novel, The Weight of Water. Another one of my favorites. You don't have to have read The Weight of Water in order to read The Last Time They Met but I think it gives you a bit of
insight into the soul of Thomas.
