The Last Letter

I needed a day to process this book. It would have been a 5 star read for me had the last 10% of the book not exist. Because what the actual f**k was that Rebecca?!?!?!?!

Spoiler!!!!


There was absolutely no reason to kill that character. WHY? I mean WHY?! How tragic. How cruel?!!!

My friend Kayleigh said “what in Colleen Hoover?!” When I told her what happened. I’m pissed.

Melissa- LOVED

I enjoyed the book, however, found it extremely predictable and unlikely till the very end with the son. I also thought Ella was an ungrateful bitch, no one complains about their bills, saving their kid, then is handed two solutions one, a hot perfect man who kisses your rear, the other a check for 1/2 million, and throws it away. Anyone who lives in Colorado knows there no way a 10 year military man, Sargent at that can afford 25 acres on a lake in Telluride. Additionally, what first grade class would allow 7 year old anywhere near a cliff, supervised or not. So in all. Cute story, but not very likely in any event.

This was a beautifully written story but it absolutely destroyed me. I’m a mom of a 6 year old son. The characters of this story being the same age as my own child added a level of heartbreak I didn’t know existed. Rebecca Yarros will forever be one of my favorite writers but be warned that this book requires tissues.

Such a good, sad book. So many spins to the book I never saw certain plots coming.
