Review

During the summer before her senior year, Liz finds herself torn between the life that she's built for herself and throwing it all away to be with her former best friend who has just been released from prison. Jason has gone to prison over an incident that left one of their friends badly burned, but we never hear the full story of what happened until the very end, where Jason finally admits the truth to Liz. A realistic fiction full of tragedy, lies, and love, The Last Time We Were Us is an emotional rollercoaster without a ton of depth. Purchase only where romantic realistic fiction is popular.

Overall Book Score: good
