Julia Bartz’s The Last Session is one of those books that keeps you flipping pages, not because you’re enjoying every moment, but because you’re desperate to figure out what’s actually happening. Even after finishing, I’m still not entirely sure I know.

The story is packed with intriguing elements—past lives, cult-like dynamics, and the ever-present question of how mental illness factors into the narrative. The unreliable narrators only add to the swirling confusion, making it hard to know what’s real and what’s not.

While the uncertainty is compelling in its own way, it also left me feeling unsatisfied. The book raises so many fascinating questions but doesn’t necessarily deliver clear answers, leaving me wondering if that was the intention or a missed opportunity.

That said, the writing is sharp, and the tension is undeniable. If you’re a fan of psychological twists and unreliable perspectives, The Last Session might be right up your alley. Just don’t expect all the pieces to fit neatly together.
