The Last to See Her by Courtney Evan Tate My rating: 2 of 5 stars Thank you to the publisher, Mira, for providing me with an ARC of The Last to See Her in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The Gist I have to confess I don’t know how to write this review. How do I start and what should I write? What little anecdote should I include before getting to the details?
