There are regularly interspersed flashback scenes, which help establish the backstory of Hannah Hill and allow the reader to feel she is a trustworthy guide through the knotty puzzle of the novel. Unlike those books, the narrator of The Last Thing He Told Me is reliable and the story is told from a close first-person point of view, allowing the reader to access the events, characters, and memories in the novel only through the lens of the protagonist, Hannah Hill. Like Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl and Paula Hawkins’s The Girl on the Train, The Last Thing investigates the impact of secrets and lies on intimate relationships. ![]()
