Publisher Description
“The Last Letter is a haunting, heartbreaking and ultimately inspirational love story.“—InTouch Weekly
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
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Some reads are tearjerkers. And some, like The Last Letter, send you on a cathartic, emotional roller-coaster ride that you somehow never want to end. Beckett has always been a loner, but while serving in the U.S. military, his comrade Ryan changes that. Not only do the two become best friends, but Ryan introduces Beckett, through letters, to his sister Ella, a single mother of twins. We loved the unexpected tenderness that comes from Beckett and Ella becoming genuinely close as pen pals. But when Ryan tragically dies just as Ella is dealing with her daughter’s cancer diagnosis, Beckett knows he needs to step up. Both tough and independent by necessity, Ella and Beckett are like mirror images of each other. Seeing them each struggle with the fear of letting someone in is a heartbreakingly tender experience. Grab some tissues for this bittersweet story of love, loss, and learning to trust.
Customer Reviews
Hands down, amazing book.
Such an absolute whirlwind of emotions, I was excited, then upset, then falling in love just to be heart broken.
Amazing job Yarros.
It’s 5am and I’m sobbing
Started reading this at 11pm after seeing one of my favorite TikTok creators say it was heartbreaking. It is now 5am and I just finished the book and my face is sore from wiping the tears away. Such an amazing and heartbreaking book!
I wasn’t ready for the ending
Nothing will prepare you for the ending of this book. You will care about the characters - celebrate when they win and cry real tears with every heartbreak. Pro tip: read with tissues at the ready.
