The Last Letter

I’ve never really been a reader, but lately I’ve been trying to find a hobby that feels like mine. I kept seeing recommendations for The Last Letter and finally decided to give it a try — and oh my gosh, I’m so glad I did. I finished this book in less than 24 hours, which says everything. As a mom, I can usually only read during naptime or after bedtime, but this had me wishing I could just sit down and read it straight through in one go. It’s beautifully written, deeply emotional, heartbreaking at times, but also incredibly fulfilling. The characters felt real, the story pulls you in immediately, and the emotional depth really stays with you. This is the kind of book that makes you feel everything. If you’re not a big reader but want a story that truly grips you — this is it.

What a heart wrenching story. It was funny in some parts, and sad in others. A story of true love ❤️, heartbreak 💔 and happiness 😊. Ella was a single mom of twins. Her brother in the military. She lost her Grandparents and her parents and now her brother. She needs help with dealing with everything happening in her life. So here is Beckett, her brother asked him to go help her cause he is gone and she has no one and he wants his best friend to help take care of her and the kids. Being a mom myself and having raised 4 kids, I don't think I would make it through all the stuff Ella has to deal with. Great book and if you feel all the feels you sure will need come tissue for this book.

Beckett and Ella’s love story was full of heartache and the ups and downs of friends to lovers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ With a little spice 🌶️🌶️ and a beautiful HEA.

I honestly don’t even know where to start because The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros was everything. This book took me on a rollercoaster of emotions—every single emotion. I went from laughing to crying to feeling heartbroken, then back to laughing, and all the way to gut-wrenching sobs. It was intense, it was beautiful, and it was everything I never knew I needed in a story. Told through the dual perspectives of Beckett Gentry, aka Chaos, and Ella McKenzie, this story is both beautiful and heartbreaking. Their connection begins through letters, as requested by Ella’s brother, Ryan. And trust me, their journey is one you will never forget. Beckett is everything I want in a book boyfriend—he is perfect. After leaving the military following a devastating operation that took the life of his best friend, Ryan, and left Ella’s brother’s death lingering in the background, Beckett receives a letter from Ryan asking him to look after Ella and her family. The kicker? Beckett’s already fallen in love with Ella through their letters, though she has no idea who he really is. His journey to fulfill Ryan’s final request—without revealing his identity—was both sweet and heartbreaking in all the right ways. Ella is a single mom of twins one boy and one girl and a business owner who’s been recently hit with the devastating news that her young daughter has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a form of cancer. In the midst of her grief, she takes comfort in writing to her brother’s best friend, Chaos. And when Beckett suddenly stops responding after the operation, she assumes the worst—he’s gone, too. The emotional weight of their journey is staggering. I absolutely lost it reading Ryan’s final letter to Beckett. I sobbed uncontrollably—it was raw, it was beautiful, and it hit so deep. But those tears were quickly replaced with joy as I watched Beckett fight for Ella and her family. The way he stepped in and cared for them, the way he loved her kids—it was beyond moving. It was heartwarming. But hold on tight because this book doesn’t let you off easy. As much as it’s filled with moments of joy, laughter, and heart, it will tear your heart out. The heartbreak is so real, I cried nonstop for over an hour. I could barely see the words through my tears, but I had to keep reading. The emotional intensity of this book will stay with you long after you finish. The Last Letter is a book I will remember for years to come. The story development was on point, with unexpected twists that will leave you gasping. The character building was so well done, you’ll feel like you know Beckett and Ella personally. And while the spice was minimal, it wasn’t necessary with how powerful the emotional connection was. I loved every single moment of it. I would 1000% recommend this book to anyone who loves a beautiful, emotional, and soul-stirring story. But just be aware—it touches on themes of child loss, so be prepared for some heavy moments. This book is worth every tear. If you’re looking for a story that will stay with you long after you turn the last page, this is it.

I was enjoying this book a great deal, but then there was a twist that really had nothing to add to the story. So unnecessary and disappointing. That's my opinion. It's still a book that's written well, and another may not be bothered.
