What would you say toย your meddling parents, your ex-best friend, your toxic boss, or your high school crush if you didnโt have to face the consequences?
Sara Chae is the founder of One Last Word, an app that allows you to send a message to anyone you want after you pass. Safeguards are in place so the app will only send when youโre definitely, absolutely, 100% dead, but whenย another Sara Chae dies and her obituary is posted online, Sara discovers that drafted messages sheย had drunkenly uploaded on one night have been released โone eachย to her emotionally charged mother, to her former best friend who ghosted her, and to her unrequited high school crush, Harryย Shim.
ย Still reeling from this disaster, Sara finds out sheโs been accepted into a venture capital mentorship programโ and thatย the mentor sheโs been assigned to is none other than Harry, whoโs now a major VC superstar.ย With her life going from uncertain to chaotic overnight, Sara has to deal with the havoc that ensues and reopen wounds from the past toย find a true path forward.
A pitch-perfect homage for fans ofย Annabel Monaghan, Alisha Rai, and Jenny Han,ย One Last Wordย is an empowering, laugh-out-loud story about a woman who learns to speak up and fight for what she wants in life and love.
