Best, First and Last

De: Amy Matthews

Narrado por: Charlotte North

A young woman stuck in a rut is dragged by her grieving grandmother to hike the Inca Trail–but can a holiday heal heartbreak, or will longtime secrets tear them apart? A heartwarming novel from the acclaimed author of Someone Else’s Bucket List.

Twenty-five-year-old Heather Russo is miserable–work is non-stop, her love life is in tatters and she’s in a total rut. But Heather’s not the only struggling woman in her family. Her mother, Sandy, is finally separating from Heather’s womanizing father, while her grandmother, Bonnie, is grieving her third husband by carrying his urn everywhere she goes… even the supermarket. She’s had enough of wallowing, though, and plans a surprise girls’ trip: they’re going to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu!

Heather is a reluctant hiker–until she meets charming Owen on the trail and things start to get interesting. But, of course, that’s when Bonnie decides to share some long-held secrets that just might send Heather and Sandy over the edge. Will they even make it to the summit?

With every twist in the trail, Heather learns more about her family–and herself–than she anticipated. And as her time with Owen becomes precious, she’s forced to reconsider what she really wants for her future.

Reseñas de la Crítica

‘Best, First, and Last by Amy T. Matthews is equal parts witty and wise. The family members at the centre of this warm-hearted novel might have their doubts about vacationing together, but I loved being along for the ride.’ (Laura Hankin, author of The Daydreams and A Special Place for Women)

‘Best, First, and Last took me on a JOURNEY. The lush setting is the perfect backdrop for this multi-generational story of the many ways love–romantic and familial–can shape our lives. At turns both funny and heart-wrenching, this is another gem from one of my must read authors.’ (Robin Lefler, author of Reasonable Adults)
