This is my first book by this author. The writing was good, and I laughed out loud at times, but it left me feeling sad. The book was upbeat and funny, but it managed to remind me that one day I will grow old and die. Time is running away with me. I think The book is great if you want a reminder of your mortality, or if you want to spend a few hours with people who are also growing old and slowly dying.

I have read a few books by Elizabeth Berg and was always very pleased with them. I loved the Art of Mending and Open House. This one drew me in then it got to the climax and I was like...really this is the turning point of the story??? From there it was downhill. It left me feeling like the ending was rushed, cut short so to speak. One of the main characters dies and there was no reflection whatsoever on his death from the other characters point of view. I was disappointed in this to say the least.

Elizabeth Berg has written another great story with "The Last Time I Saw You". This is different than other books that I have read of hers because there are 5 main characters instead of just one. Some of these characters I didn't really like at first, while others I seemed to instantly relate to. Each character has their own distinct personality so it was fun to read from chapter to chapter as each chapter goes from one character to the next. Seemed like a quick read because I got more & more interested in the characters as the story went on. Each character could, from here, have their own book!
