“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

This book ripped my heart out and stomped on it. In the very best way.
It's been a while since a book has made me this angry. I'm struggling with what to rate it. I was sure it'd be a 4/5 star read up until the last 10% or so. I really dislike when authors add a twist to the story just for shock value. It adds nothing to the story or to the development of the characters, especially when it happens at 90%, at which point most books should be wrapping up nicely. Not this one though.
As if things weren't tragic enough for the main character with having all of her family be dead and her husband walk out on her while pregnant with twins, let's kill her brother in action, give her daughter an aggressive form of cancer, and then the cherry on top, let's kill her other child for the heck of it. No thank you, Rebecca Yarros.
I'd only recommend this if you like to torture yourself. Otherwise, steer clear.
