​
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?

Booklist (starred review)
​
“Emma Grey weaves riotous romantic comedy through a journey from love to loss and back again with a raw honesty and intensity that is equalled only by her capacity to find humour and light in the darkest of moments.”
―Nina Campbell, author of Daughters of Eve
​
“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. The novel is passionate and soulful, terrifying and devastating. The Last Love Note serves as a reminder that it really is better to have loved and lost than never loved at all.”
Bodhi Byles, Books & Publishing
​
"A moving portrait of love, loss and the messy emotions that live in between. And while Emma captures heart-wrenching scenes, the intimate prose is relatable, revealing and simply human. Yes, you will need tissues on hand―as well as a cuppa."

“The Last Love Note is a romcom both sparkling and heartbreaking in equal measure―we're invited into the story of Kate, grieving single parent, finds herself stranded with her boss in a sleepy hamlet, with only a trail of scribbled love notes to hold a secret from her past―that he's hiding.”

“This book looks and sounds like a typical rom-com…But then it takes an unexpected left turn that elevates it to another level. To put it simply, this book was heartbreakingly beautiful and unexpectedly funny all at once and such a fantastic surprise. Grey does a fantastic job of telling a heartbreaking story with a blend of warmth and humour that is difficult to nail. Just be warned, you will laugh out loud and you will cry.”
Mercedes Maguire, Sydney Daily & Sunday Telegraphs
Paige Toon
“An exquisitely heartbreaking emotional love story, packed with light, tender touches. I will be recommending this to everyone."
Alexandra Potter
“So much more than a romcom - beautifully written, both funny and heartbreaking and ultimately filled with hope.”
Hazel Hayes
“The Last Love Note is a beautifully blindsiding sort of book. A funny, touching page-turner, which I’ve no doubt will touch the heart of many readers"

It's magnificent!
I fell in love with these characters and became deeply invested. Couldn't put it down.
KATHERINE BERNEY
The Last Love Note is an exquisite and desperately funny homage to lost love and burgeoning hope. I can’t tell you whether I cried more or laughed more, but I can tell you my heart will never be the same after reading it.
