The Last Letter

This book was written so well, the plot had just the right balance of sadness, banter, and love in it. I would 100% read again and I’d always recommend! Anything by Rebecca Yarros is a must read! She’s one of my favorite authors! 💗🥰

My first read f Rebecca Yarrow and it did not disappoint! My heart is full and broken. A must read. I was worried about the reviews and the heartache, but the LOVE and commitment is the best part.

This book RUINED ME! I heard that this book would from reviews, but now I understand why…I loved it though. It was worth all the tears. Please read this book.

Wow-A wild story of love, family, sorrow, pain, and grief. I couldn’t put this book down; through the tears and all. A Must read.

Definitely a roller coaster of emotions if you don’t mind crying you must read it

This book made me cry like no book ever has but not in a good way. Save yourself the heartache. Made me fall in love with the story and all the characters and rip it all away in such a dumb way. Just sad.

A little long at times but was a beautiful love story that left me in tears.

Cried all the way through the book. WOW. 😭

Truthfully, if you asked anyone who knows me, they’d probably call my obsession with gut-wrenching books unhealthy, maybe even a form of self-inflicted torture. But for me, finding sadness through fiction feels oddly therapeutic. One quick search for “books that will make me cry” led me to The Last Letter. Naturally, I sampled the preview before committing to the purchase and I was hooked. With each plot twist, I felt relief, thinking, “Okay, this must be the heartbreak everyone warned me about.” Man… I couldn’t have been more wrong. I always hope that the sadness will come early on, so by the end there’s healing, resolution, or at least some kind of closure that lets me part ways with the story carrying a shred of comfort for the characters I inevitably grow attached to. Instead, this book left me devastated. Grieving for a fictional family that continues to live in my imagination with their pain. If not for the epilogue, which offers the gift of time, creating a little distance between the characters and their misfortunes, I think I’d still be crying. That said, Yarros crafted the story beautifully. The alternating perspectives of the two main characters, broken up by the letters woven throughout, made the narration flow effortlessly (aside from the mandatory cry breaks). I’m glad I chose this book as my introduction to the author. While I think some of the characters endured more suffering than was necessary, I appreciated the core theme, captured perfectly in Ella’s words: “We are imperfect people made that way by an imperfect world, and we don’t always get a say in what shapes us.” Some readers might feel the loss is too extreme, even unrealistic…but in truth, so many people face relentless hardships so often that it can feel like a curse. If you’ve ever carried that weight, or if you’re drawn to stories that reflect it, this will be a great read for you. Good luck. You’ll need it. I finished it overnight and it forced me into an all-nighter.

This book had my attention from the beginning.. the way it ended, perfectly. I would love a second one. I want to know the future.. Amazing book!!
