The Last Letter wasn’t a book; it was an experience. It was an emotional rollercoaster, that as a mom, will rival no other book. This book captured me from the beginning, stole my breath, ripped a chunk of my heart out, and left a deep and heavy ache in my chest. This author has always had an ability to put words together and create masterpieces, with her attention to detail being unmatched. This book especially has the most tragic but majestic formation of words even though Yarros is trying a slightly different genre. No worries to those who love or need a little steam in their books… as usual Yarros hands us some steamy scenes ready to make you reach for that cold beverage. Not to mention… the overall message and theme of this book is one for the ages and was done better than any other like it.

“Love—when it was right—was enough to save you. Beckett taught me that every single day. And ours was more than enough. And so was I.”

Ella is my favorite mom ever written, despite her flaws. Her momma-bear fierceness knows no bounds. Her most interesting characteristic is the simultaneous fearlessness and gut-wrenching fear for her kids. She will slay any dragons that come to her door for her kids, but those very dragons create a fear and anxiety in her that make her rely on Solitude’s (her super awesome B&B/resort) bubble for their safety. That inner conflict is what drives her. She is the most stubborn and dedicated mom I have EVER read.

“Damn, I wanted her. Wanted every aspect of her—her laughter, her tears, her kids, her body, her heart. I wanted everything.”

Beckett is strong, stubborn (makes for some fun adult conversations), and loyal… almost to a fault. This is not the first military man we have had from Yarros, but he is certainly one of the best if not THE best in the honor category. His dedication to his missions and his best friends (Ella’s brother and his dog Havoc) have soared above any others. He is my favorite type of broken: having no family and still finding a way to make his own.

This book will linger long after it has been read. It will dig deep into your heart and nest there. This book is for those who want to read about a mom who loves her children dearly. This book is for those who love characters with burning hot passion for not only their loves, but a deep love for those who surround them. This book is for anyone who loves a book that will make you feel. The Last Letter is for anyone who loves love even through complicated and bittersweet stories.

5 Emotional Stars

I'm struggling to find the right words to express how much The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros touched me.
I cried a lot of tears, I swooned, I laughed, I got angry and wanted to scream why a few times and I fell in love hard for all the characters and now I'm crying writing this review.

I loved Beckett/Chaos, Ella and her beautiful, funny, smart children Maisie & Colt. Those kids truly owned my heart. They shared that special connection twins often share and damn did they bring out the feels!
I also need to mention how much respect and love I have for Havoc, she was such a smart and loyal dog.

It's hard to write a review for a book that you've loved without spoiling it for others. So I'm going to keep it short and just say this is a beautifully, thoughtful, heartfelt read that will touch you deeply.

Rebecca Yarros what can I say other than girl you owe me a few boxes of tissues and THANK YOU for writing this story. Your dedication and acknowledgment shows what a beautiful, gentle and loving woman you are.

The Last Letter is a must read, I can't wait for you all to read it and experience all the emotions I'm currently going through.
