Hailed by Culture Buzz as 'one of the best new debut adult novels of its time', this is a sparkling Australian romantic comedy with a heart-breaking twist. NOW A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

At its core, The Last Love Note is as heartwarming as it is heartbreaking. With vulnerability and honesty, Grey takes us through the entire spectrum of love. β€” Books + Publishing

In the aftermath of crushing grief, sole parent Kate Whittaker must learn to live and love again. It's been tough raising her young son and wrangling a university fundraising job, an overbearing mother, and a best friend intent on matchmaking her with someone new.

When Kate and her boss, Hugh, become stranded in a sleepy hamlet north of Byron Bay, she finally has a chance to process all that she's been through and all that the future might hold. Caught in an impossible tangle of loss, love, and unexpected longing, Kate wonders if she can risk her heart again.

But when it becomes clear that Hugh is hiding a secret from her past, all she has to guide her is the trail of scribbled notes she once used to hold her life together. The first note captured her heart. Will the last note set it free?

A sparkling Australian romantic comedy that will break your heart into a thousand shards and piece it back together again.
