Sara is stuck in middle management and is clearly under appreciated at her majority tech bro job. After a contemptuous pitch meeting, Sara decides that she’s had enough and takes her app, One Last Word, with her. Determined to get her app and new company off the ground, Sara applies for a mentorship program with the hope to secure funding. After celebrating hitting submit on her application, she and her sister drunkenly write letters to  some of the most important people in her life in the app. How does the app work? Say what you need to get off your chest to get the last word and the app will send out the letters once you die. But of course, the app glitches and sends the letters over night. Now she has to clean up the mess her letters created while completing the mentoring program.

The premise of this book hooked me immediately, I mean, who doesn’t have a couple of people they’d like to get the last word with? Watching Sara, a reserved, heads down, corporate grinder, navigate not only her new career but reconcile the relationships she let get away was pretty entertaining. Sara comes to realize she may be a bit more at fault for the way her relationships have turned out. From her ex-best friend, to her unrequited crush she puts on a pedestal, and her complicated relationship with her parents she gets a much needed wake up call. 

I enjoyed that Sara’s faults were not only acknowledged but lovingly confronted with the help of her closes support system; her sister and best friend Casey. There were times where the pacing moved a bit slower and it seemed like it was stuck in a never ending lecture about the patriarchy and rampant sexism in the tech industry.

Overall, it was a good quick read about self-discovery, confidence, and a hint of romance.
