Description
Laura Dave continues Hannah Hall's pulse-pounding journey in the riveting and deeply moving sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling blockbuster and Apple TV+ show, The Last Thing He Told Me. Five years after her husband, Owen, disappeared, Hannah Hall and her stepdaughter, Bailey, have settled into a new life in Southern California. Together, they've forged a relationship with Bailey's grandfather Nicholas and are putting the past behind them. But when Owen shows up at Hannah's new exhibition, she knows that she and Bailey are in danger again. Hannah and Bailey are forced to go on the run in a relentless race to keep their past from catching up with them. As a thrilling drama unfolds, Hannah risks everything to get Bailey to safety--and finds there just might be a way back to Owen and their long-awaited second chance. A gripping, rich, and deeply moving novel about the power of forgiveness, The First Time I Saw Him picks up right where the epilogue for the "genuinely moving" (The New York Times) The Last Thing He Told Me left off, giving readers the eagerly awaited and absolutely exhilarating sequel to Dave's global blockbuster.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Oh boy, this one will be big: Dave's 2021 novel, The Last Thing He Told Me, was a blockbuster hit, adapted into an Apple+ TV series (the second season starts Feb. 20). The sequel is set five years later, with Hannah Hall and her stepdaughter, Bailey, trying to move on after her husband Owen's disappearance. Well, guess what. He's back, and their lives are, again, in danger." --AARP
"Twists and turns will keep readers guessing throughout the novel at how it will all end. The characters' love and concern for each other show through their thoughts and actions... This sequel is sure to be a hit." --Library Journal
"[The First Time I Saw Him] dives deeper into Hannah's character and the grit she needs to survive. Readers can use what they learned from the first book, a best-seller, to jump right in." --Booklist
"An essential sequel that ties up loose threads while providing a thrilling ride across continents." --Kirkus
"Equally action-packed and deeply felt, this sequel is every bit as incredible as The Last Thing He Told Me. Clear your schedule because once you pick this book up, you won't be able to put it down. I loved everything about it." --Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of She's Not Sorry
"[A] heart-pounding sequel... The pacing is brisk from the very first page, with Dave nimbly juggling multiple perspectives and timelines en route to a finale that provides readers with satisfying answers to their questions." --Publishers Weekly
