"If Singletree’s only florist didn’t deliver her posies half-drunk, I might still be married to that floor-licking, scum-sucking, receptionist-nailing hack-accountant, Mike Terwilliger." 

Lacey Terwilliger’s shock and humiliation over her husband’s philandering prompt her to add some bonus material to Mike’s company newsletter: stunning Technicolor descriptions of the special brand of "administrative support" his receptionist gives him.  The detailed mass e-mail to Mike’s family, friends, and clients blows up in her face, and before one can say "instant urban legend," Lacey has become the pariah of her small Kentucky town, a media punch line, and the defendant in Mike’s defamation lawsuit.

Her seemingly perfect life up in flames, Lacey retreats to her family’s lakeside cabin, only to encounter an aggravating neighbor named Monroe.  A hunky crime novelist with a low tolerance for drama, Monroe is not thrilled about a newly divorced woman moving in next door.  But with time, beer, and a screen door to the nose, a cautious friendship develops into something infinitely more satisfying.

Lacey has to make a decision about her long-term living arrangements, though.  Should she take a job writing caustic divorce newsletters for paying clients, or move on with her own life, pursuing more literary aspirations?  Can she find happiness with a man who tells her what he thinks and not what she wants to hear?  And will she ever be able to resist saying one . . . last . . . thing??

And One Last Thing is a book about the satisfaction of getting the ultimate revenge by getting the last word but what if the last word isn’t what’s important.  What if that last word comes back to bite you?  Exploring the idea of whether revenge is sweet or bittersweet when a woman takes back her life after the ultimate betrayal, Harper has created a book that is impossible to put down.  Filled with laugh out loud situations, an unforgettably feisty protagonist and her signature sarcastic dialogue the book begs to be read by every woman who has ever considered revenge on the male gender.

With a cast of characters that are impossible not to fall in love with and a male love interest built like a super hero And One Last Thing has everything you need for a terrific read that satisfies all a woman might dream of in the ultimate revenge with a few life lessons tossed in the mix. In her first work beyond her Nice Girls series Harper has truly hit a home run with her first foray into fiction without fangs.

I read this book in one sitting, it was impossible for me to put down.  I spent the whole time laughing and I thoroughly enjoyed the book.  This reader’s last word would have to be: Bravo!

 Media Reviews
 
Harper brings her trademark humor and biting social comedy to this hilarious tale of heartbreak and romance, a novel that should be on the summer reading list of every woman who has been wronged. - Booklist

Harper's stab at chick lit (after her Nice Girls series of supernatural romance) starts strong before falling into a rut of predictability. After Lacey Terwilliger receives a bouquet of flowers meant for her husband's mistress, she sends a scathing e-mail about his affair to everyone they know. Mercifully, Harper focuses more on Mike's cluelessness and Lacey's wounded emotional state and epiphanies than the media whirlwind that starts up once Laceys e-mail earns her Internet fame. In an attempt to escape the withering gaze of the media and local townsfolk, Lacey retreats to a family cabin, where the neighbor happens to be Lefty Monroe, a Hugh Jackman–looking cop-turned-writer. From here on out, it's a fairly predictable bit of meeting and initial dislike melting into attraction, with awkward forays into a writing project Lacey undertakes. Though the leads and support cast are witty and well-done, the characters Lacey doesn't like--Mike, his mistress--are little more than caricatures, and the story loses much of its verve once the LaceyLefty romance kicks in. - Publisher's Weekly
