Beckett,

If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have.

I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride.

My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. It’s not fair.

And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart. She’s going to need help.

So if I’m gone, that means I can’t be there for Ella. I can’t help them through this. But you can. So I’m begging you, as my best friend, go take care of my sister, my family.

Please don’t make her go through it alone.

Ryan

Yarros has consistently written great stories but The Last Letter is something all together different and stunning. I didn’t know what I was getting into when I read this book. I understood it would be emotional due to the obvious subject matter when I read the synopsis but I never anticipated the raw tragic story that is brimming with hope, love, and pain. 

This book is not for the faint of heart. It is a roller coaster of every human emotion you could possibly feel. It is a powerful story that digs deep and refuses to let go. When I finished this book I thought about it for days. I thought I knew what to expect, but Yarros threw me for a loop. The characters are deep, the storyline is so well developed and the relationships within the story spark something in the reader. The romance was well paced and realistic. It was hard but worth it. Nothing for these characters was easy and the flaws and mistakes make them more tangible and relatable. I was so engrossed in what was happening that I never saw the plot twist coming. And I broke. Man, I cried. Any author who can coax out an emotional response from me is someone I will always admire and never get enough of. Rebecca Yarros, this was well worth the wait. The Last Latter is a story that will stay with you long after it is over.
