The author, Jason Rekulak, wrote an amazing book called "Hidden Pictures" a few years back. I think many readers are expecting this to follow the same suit, but it does not. There is no paranormal aspect and this doesn't have any horror to it either. None of this takes away from the story in any way, and I think it's more of a testament to the author's talent to successfully tell two different stories so well. 

John Pirhalla narrates this audiobook. He does an excellent job bringing Frank to life. Frank's character is, above anything else, a dad. Even though he's been estranged from his daughter for a few years, he's still elated when she calls and tells him she's getting married. Maggie is still evasive and somewhat cold with him and Frank desperately wants to apologize and make up for lost time, but he can't help but feel something is a bit off with the wedding and the new family that Maggie is marrying into. 

This story seems simple enough: a father and daughter reconnecting over her wedding, but there is a bad history that we never really get the full story of. The author does a nice job at leaving the reader guessing because Frank seems like a great father, but he's constantly trying to appease Maggie and she never wants to have a serious conversation with him. What could Frank have done that was that bad? And why does everyone seem to either love or completely hate the Gardners? 

The ending of this story was done well. All aspects of the story receive resolution, and this story would also be great for a book club since it leaves room for discussion. 

I could ramble on but then I'd be spoiling the entire book for you. If you enjoy tense and unsettling settings with family secrets all around, you'll enjoy "The Last One At The Wedding".
