I think I'm over the unreliable narrator... I couldn't get into this one at all. The writing felt wordy and overly dramatic, even given the blurb and storyline. The characters felt like I'd read them before and I didn't find anyone particularly relatable or sympathetic. The book felt like it was trying to cleverly set up twists, rather than just to tell a story. This one wasn't for me...

When Hannah began her studies at Washington University, she was dependent upon taking a mood stabilizer to keep herself under control. Trouble starts when she meets one of her fellow students, Justine, a wealthy, successful student and daughter of a famous author. After Hannah develops a close relationship with her, hoping to follow in her footsteps, Justine soon begins to take a strange and controlling interest in her.
Suddenly, Hannah finds herself grasping for control of herself. She begins drinking heavily, which she is not supposed to do while using her mood stabilizer. She soon finds herself a murder suspect when Justine is found dead. As her boyfriend, Eli, is driving her away from the murder scene, she fears that she may have been the killer.

Overall good book. I struggled getting into it for the first 50 pages and almost stopped. Glad I persevered
Thank you for the opportunity to read ahead

Rebecca Kanner’s Last One Seen is a gripping and emotionally charged thriller that kept me captivated from the very first page. With a compelling blend of suspense, mystery that made it hard to put down!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) – A stunning, unputdownable thriller that keeps you hooked until the very end!

This book was such an interesting and quick read for me. It focuses a lot around bipolar disorder, so it was really intriguing to learn more about that. The descriptions of episodes were really in depth and it was just fun to broaden my knowledge on the subject. I would just suggest that people check trigger warnings before reading! All in all loved it!

At first, you think you are reading a thriller about an unmedicated bipolar mess who may or may not have killed the beautiful and mysterious student that she’s jealous of, but that’s not really what this book is. Hannah is unreliable, alright; you never know if she’s telling the truth or making up some version of it because she blacked out and can’t remember what happened. Our protagonists are writers and discuss a lot the merits of fiction versus non-fiction: is fiction always a lie? Is non-fiction only the truth? I really liked the meta about writing that was popping up all along the story. I also always love an effed-up and complicated narrator, and it was impossible to know whether or not Hannah was in the right or not because we only get her point of view. By the end of the book, we still don’t know what really happened; just like her, we get to make up our own version of the truth.

An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!

This was such a good read. It was full of emotion and great writing! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Centers around a group of writers and their interaction and jealousies
Just an average book for me
Thank you to the author p, publisher and NetGalley for an advance copy

Hannah is on the run with Eli. She may have killed someone but she doesn't remember. She has her own problems and might have got in too much touble at school but murder? can Hannah trust Eli? or more importantly, can she trust herself?

wow! what a rollercoaster ride! this was a superb book! a total page turner!

Last One Seen is so twisty that just when you think you know what’s going on, everything shifts in the best possible way. We meet Hannah, a grad student in at Washington University who has some mental health challenges that are under control with the help of a mood stabilizer. She becomes envious of another student, Justine, and her life quickly starts spiraling out of control. I was hooked from page one of this book and couldn’t put it down! Thank you NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for the eARC.

This book was full of twists and turns it took me a while to keep up but in a good way, really decent read and the way the book is written really pulls you in. Give it a read as you wont be disappointed.

I could not get over this book!! I talked about it for days It was just fabulous. I was in such suspense from the beginning to the end. I loved it!

I love a book with an unreliable narrator, and this one was a doozy. Hannah is a college student, finishing up her MFA when she meets Justine, another student in her course. The two are drawn together like magnets but Hannah‘s behavior begins to spin out of control, and she needs someone else to blame. Is it Justine, or another student in their course? The only thing that is clear is that Justine is dead and Hannah isn’t sure if she is the one who killed her.
