The blurb:
Jenny discovers her days are numbered at the same time she discovers her husband is having an affair…
Frankly, she had enough on her plate already. Two tricky teenagers, her mother’s constant complaints, friends who aren’t up to the job and a career which has been spiralling downwards since she won ‘Sunseeker Tour Rep of the Season’ twenty years ago.
And now this. Enough is enough! Jenny vows to keep both revelations a secret. She takes her life into her own hands and decides to live as she did when she was happiest… in 1996. She plans a spectacular 1990s themed party in place of a wake that she herself will attend. But will she be able to keep her secrets for long enough to have the party of a lifetime?

My review:
I am a Tracy Bloom fan, when I first saw this book advertised I wasn’t sure how the subjects would fit with Tracy’s fabulous down to earth, rom-com style, and so wasn’t sure I would enjoy it. Well, it turns out I was proved wrong for doubting it would be anything but great and should have trusted in Tracy’s fabulous storytelling ability.
Once I started I couldn’t put it down; it was compelling reading. Soon after I had finished, I tweeted: ‘Gosh, wow, crying, laughing, frustrated, touched and well and truly hooked from start to finish.’ This sums up my reading experience.
The Last Laugh was beautifully written, relatable, and a great read. It was all the things I love about Tracy’s other books while tackling deeper subjects – the things that happen that are beyond our control, and can turn life round in an instant.

About the author:
Tracy Bloom started writing when her cruel, heartless husband ripped her away from her dream job shopping for rollercoasters for the UK’s leading theme parks, to live in America with a brand new baby and no mates. In a cunning plan to avoid domestic duties and people who didn’t understand her Derbyshire accent, she wrote her romantic comedy, No-One Ever Has Sex on a Tuesday. This debut novel went on to be successfully published internationally and became a #1 Best Seller.
