I really wanted to love The Last Session. The setup had so much potential: a mysterious wellness retreat, a group of writers with secrets, and a famous therapist with an agenda. But somewhere between the slow pacing, underdeveloped characters, and meandering plot, I found myself putting it down… and never picking it back up.

Thank you to Julia Bartz, Atria Books, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
