''Last Places'' is a 2010 novel written by [[BooksVsMovies Matt Guion]]. The story follows a group of eight friends as they meet together a year after the death of their best friend, Peggy de Witte, who was the central figure of the group. In order to help remember her -- and hopefully bring the group back together -- Peggy's boyfriend Dave suggests that they visit all of the places that each of them saw her last. ''Last Places'' draws a lot of influence from JohnGreen books, especially ''LookingForAlaska'' and ''PaperTowns.''
----
!!Contains examples of:
*  BettyAndVeronica: Gil and Peggy for Dave.
*  [[spoiler: BirthDeathJuxtaposition: Gil's baby is born exactly a year after her best friend died.]]
*  [[spoiler: [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim Break Her Heart To Save Her: Peggy distances herself from Lana, the friend most dependent on her, in hopes that Lana will find other people to make her happy. Even though she promises that it'll only be for a week, Lana can't help but feel it's more permanent -- it doesn't help that Peggy dies the day before the week is up.]] ]]
*  BurgerFool: Herb starts the story as one.
*  [[spoiler: BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Dave wants to understand his dead girlfriend better, but the more he learns about her, the less happy he gets.]]
*  DeathBySex: In a more literal sense than this trope is usually used: Peggy wouldn't've died if she didn't go to Dave's that night to have sex with him.
*  EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Especially Sonya.
*  [[spoiler: InstantBirthJustAddWater: While it's not ''instant'', the labor only lasts about two hours, while in real life the average labor time for a first baby is about twelve hours.]]
*  InterruptedSuicide
*  ManicPixieDreamGirl: Peggy was one of these to her friends, though in unique ways for each of them.
*  UsefulNotes/NaNoWriMo: The story is based on Guion's 2009 [=NaNoWriMo=] novel.
*  NoSocialSkills: Rob.
*  PosthumousCharacter: Everything we learn about Peggy is told through flashback and the characters' descriptions of her.
*  SignificantReferenceDate/[[SignificantBirthDate Significant Death Date]]: Peggy died on December 21, 2012.
*  TeenPregnancy: Gil has a case of this.
*  TheirFirstTime: Happened for Dave and Peggy less than an hour before she died. [[spoiler: Though it turns out Peggy slept with Sonya just a few days prior, so this is only her first time with a guy.]]
*  TwoferTokenMinority: Sonya is a black lesbian.
