The book follows the story of Tom Donnolly and Brooke Hammond, two characters who have been a part of the series since the beginning. In The Best Man, the first novel of the series, we see Tom as the best man at his friend’s wedding, where he meets Brooke for the first time. Over the course of the series, we see them grow from friends, to lovers, to exes, to friends again. Now, in the final book, we get to see if they can finally make it work.
One of the things that’s made The Best Man series so successful is the way Higgins has created a community of characters that feel like family. We’ve watched as these characters have fallen in and out of love, as they’ve faced challenges and triumphs, and through it all, we’ve felt like we were a part of their world. In The Final Chapters, we get to see how the other characters we’ve grown to love are faring.
There’s Faith, who’s happily married to her best friend Levi, and has two teenage daughters. There’s Posey, the wedding planner, who’s still single and trying to balance her busy career with her desire for a family. And then there‘s Honor, the free spirit who’s finally settled down with her longtime boyfriend. Through these characters, Higgins shows us that love can take many forms and that happiness is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor.
But the heart of The Final Chapters is Tom and Brooke’s story. The two have a complicated history, with Brooke calling off their engagement years earlier, leaving Tom heartbroken. When they run into each other at a friend’s wedding, they find themselves picking up where they left off. But there are still obstacles to overcome, including Brooke’s fear of commitment and Tom’s lingering hurt. Can they finally make it work?
As always, Higgins brings her trademark blend of humor and heart to the story. The Final Chapters is a romantic comedy at its core, with witty banter and laugh-out-loud moments. But it’s also a deeply emotional story, exploring the pain of loss and the healing power of love. Through Tom and Brooke’s journey, we see the importance of forgiveness and second chances.
Overall, The Best Man: The Final Chapters is a satisfying conclusion to a beloved series. It’s a book about friendship, family, and finding the courage to take a leap of faith. Higgins has created a world that readers will want to return to again and again, and The Final Chapters is the perfect send-off for these wonderful characters. It’s a book that will leave you smiling and feeling good, and what more can you ask for from a romance novel?
