The Last Appointment II chronicles Noah’s transition from a determined pre-med student to a talented doctor and his enduring connection with Jasmine, whose path as a journalist takes her across the globe. This second installment dives into themes of perseverance, faith, and the impact of relationships. Noah’s journey is marked by challenges in his medical career and unspoken emotions for Jasmine, while her fearless reporting sheds light on global issues. Their parallel but divergent lives provide a rich tapestry of ambition, love, and destiny.

The stakes feel even higher in this book. I loved how the story delved into Noah’s growth as a doctor, especially during his emotional struggles with patients like Kira and her mother. The moment when Noah discovers his deeper connection to his healing gift was powerful and inspiring.

Jasmine’s story was equally compelling. It offered glimpses into her life of courage and sacrifice. Her time with the Peace Corps and her commitment to storytelling were vivid and captivating. Her scenes in war-torn regions, especially when facing danger while filming a report, showcased her bravery and depth.

One thing I loved about this book was the exploration of faith and destiny woven throughout the story. Noah’s faith in God’s plan and his ability to reconcile science and spirituality felt sincere and relatable. His reflections, especially during moments of doubt, were deeply moving to me. The reunion with Jasmine during the Christmas holiday was heartwarming as well. Their night under the stars was a touching callback to their shared history, making me root for their eventual union.

The Last Appointment II is an inspiring sequel that beautifully balances personal struggles, professional triumphs, and heartfelt relationships. I think it’s perfect for readers who enjoyed the first book and are looking for a continuation filled with emotional depth and hope. Grace Omena has a knack for capturing the beauty in ordinary yet transformative moments, and this sequel does not disappoint.
