Title: Talk about letting me down slowly...
Review: I loved the Pilot's Wife and was excited to read The Last Time They Met but it was an utter disappointment. I agree w/ the reader who recommended reading the last chapter 1st. In fact, one could read ONLY the last chapter and then NOT go back to read the rest as it would only drag on to a pointless story. I love a story of deep and undying love as much as the next person but I could barely begin to care about these two lovers until the last few chapters. The reading was slow and felt as if Shreve was just trying too hard to be a writer of great talent and for her characters to be as well. I suggest passing on this novel.
