The Last Letter from Your Lover: A Novel

Now a major motion picture streaming on Netflix starring Felicity Jones, Shailene Woodley, Callum Turner, Nabhaan Rizwan and Joe Alwyn

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars, a sophisticated, page-turning double love story spanning forty years


It is 1960. When Jennifer Stirling wakes up in the hospital, she can remember nothing-not the tragic car accident that put her there, not her husband, not even who she is. She feels like a stranger in her own life until she stumbles upon an impassioned letter, signed simply "B", asking her to leave her husband. 

Years later, in 2003, a journalist named Ellie discovers the same enigmatic letter in a forgotten file in her newspaper's archives. She becomes obsessed by the story and hopeful that it can resurrect her faltering career. Perhaps if these lovers had a happy ending she will find one to her own complicated love life, too. Ellie's search will rewrite history and help her see the truth about her own modern romance. 

A spellbinding, intoxicating love story with a knockout ending, The Last Letter from Your Lover will appeal to the readers who have made One Day and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society bestsellers.

Such a great story!!! When I had first started it, it was a little slow and kind of confusing. But each chapter left you wanting to find out more. I had started reading a couple pages here and there, then I was reading 6 chapters all at once. Such a beautiful novel!! I love Jojo Moyes books. She has a way of incorporating real life with fiction.

At first it was very confusing where the storyline began and keeping my interest, but again, another book where I watched the movie first then read it. Such a good summer read and the pages flew by!

What I Liked: Historical Fiction and Romance with two clever love stories set 40 years apart. I didn't expect the twist at the end. What I Disliked: The first few chapters were very slow.
