OverviewJosie Hudson's whole life has been about one thing and one thing only: keeping her son Scott alive. And when Scott, now nineteen, finds out that his heart is once again failing - with no hope of a transplant - Josie's world comes crashing down. Determined to give meaning to his final months, Scott decides to find a match for his mum: someone to be there for her when he will no longer be. Posting a video on YouTube, Scott sets out to find the perfect man, but it just might be that the man of her dreams is a little closer to home... Heart-warming and tear-jerking, this is a devastatingly beautiful novel about love, family and learning to let go.

Table of ContentsReviewsI'm so glad I found it - I recommend it most highly * Being Anne Reading Book Blog * This story was extremely heart-warming. There were interesting turns and revelations throughout the book. It had great pacing. I would highly recommend this book to fans of women's fiction! * Chick Lit Chickadees Book Blog * This Last Kiss is a book about forgiveness, about first loves and true loves and of being able to find peace in things and move on. If you enjoyed reading Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, One Day by David Nicholls or One Summer Night by Emily Bold then I think you will enjoy This Last Kiss as it has the same emphasis of enjoying love and romance before it ultimately ends * That Thing She Reads Book Blog * This book was really good but be warned......UGLY CRY!!! I was sobbing uncontrollably! But this book has more than the ugly cry... it had me laughing and feeling full of love before it ripped my heart out... * Steph and Chris Book Reviews * An unexpected delight * Chick Lit Chickadees * An emotional, romantic and gentle read about love and family; I'm glad I got the chance to be introduced to author Madeleine Reiss * A Spoonful of Happy Endings * Any fairytale worth its salt has many dark moments as it does stolen kisses... * Jenny O'Brien blog * It made me cry but it also left me feeling enriched by the whole reading experience. Just a gorgeous book! * My Chestnut Reading Tree * This was quite an emotional read that felt genuine and not over the top on the sympathy front. The relationship between Josie and Scott was so touching that you couldn't help be moved to tears as the story develops - have the tissues ready when you read this book! - and it approaches quite a tough subject with dignity. Highly recommended. * Bookkaz * This is a funny, reflective, wise and heartbreakingly sad story, told in a way which feels searingly honest... At times the author's evocative portrayal of grief and loss was visceral in its intensity, capturing the pain of wanting so desperately to hang on but having to learn to let go. Her recognition of the split between the coping persona a bereaved person presents to the world and the inner one which feels so alone, scared and fragmented that it is hard to believe it's possible to survive the pain of loss, was so moving and accurate that I didn't just cry, I sobbed. However, this isn't a book which is just about loss, it is also about hope and the recognition that love can be found in unexpected places if we open ourselves up to it...I have no hesitation in recommending this book - but make sure you have a box of tissues close by when you read it! * Nudge Books * My first book by Madeleine Reiss, and this book made me cry, though I did control the lump in the throat remarkably.
