I don’t even know how to put into words how much I loved this book. I would’ve definitely finished it in 1 sitting if I didn’t have so much going on, but I did finish it in less than 24 hours, so that’s still a good sign. My heart is racing, I’m super emotional (and I’m a person who doesn’t tend to get emotional at all in books). This book had a lot of heavy touchy subjects, and it talked about them in a very eloquent and beautiful way. It is the story about 2 sisters who are polar opposites, but come together in the end, which I genuinely love. It should however have trigger warnings for certain things before the story begins.
Wins:
-Autumn and Ivy. I love them. Both of them. Their individual stories are absolutely amazing, their perspectives are amazing. And god bless Ivy for being thic and proud of it! MY QUEEN!
-handling very touchy subjects. I’m going to give out a few spoilers here so SPOILER WARNING. Autumn has 2 very touchy story plots that people can and will get triggered by. Her storyline addresses not only drug dealer, but also drug abuse and rape, and it’s not done in a IM DOING THIS BECAUSE ITS TRENDY kind of way, they stories that do that genuinely offend me, but in this story it is addressed very boldly in a way that people can learn from and understand
-the plot. It’s a very unique plot, the whole ghost wandering around thing is nothing new, but it’s done in a completely different way than I’ve ever read. The way that Ivy becomes a detective for her sister that’s not even close to her is amazing, I really loved it
-the romance. Super cute, the first reveal I was dying, cheering out, and then with the final reveal of the romance I was smitten and very happy. Very cute. Loved it
Opportunities
-can we throw away the “pretty skinny popular girl, versus her fat, dorky very unpopular sister” troupe, I’m sick of it. Stop doing it. I want to grab authors who flaunt it by the front for their shirts and shake them.
All in all, it was the better version of If I Stay. Please DO NOT come out with a storyline ruining sequel, I will take back every good thing I’ve said. In conclusion was the Last Confession of Autumn Casterly worth it? 1000% yes. Pick it up, again just be aware of some trigger warnings that aren’t mentioned.
