“ 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

I can’t even explain how much I love this book! It’s utter perfection. I love it so much I had to get it in all formats (kindle, paperback & audiobook)! It’s truly a cathartic experience. This is an emotional read. One you will think about years later. I cry real tears every time. Just jump right into reading it.
This is a real tear jerky. I love this book and will be reading more of this authors books. A true love story, real life book
This was probably one of the best books that I've read in 2024. The last letter was a riveting novel about the last letter written by a military soldier to his best friend who carries out the mission of the letter. This novel pulls on your heartstrings, lets you know the resilience of life and the grief of loss.
I think this is the first tear jerker military-esque romance novel I have read since I read Dear John in high school and had an OBSESSION with Nicholas Sparks. Let’s start off by saying I began this book and not even 10% in I’m sobbing. I will say my sadness with children did get 10x worse with having my own son so maybe if you weren’t a parent you might be slightly less sad. Ella is a well fleshed out strong character and Beckett is also a great character with many flaws but also well thought out and rounded. I felt even all of the side characters were perfect. The whole story line is very hallmark movie to me and my first book by Rebecca Yarros was Fourth Wing which I was surprised to see was her only fantasy/romantasy series. It took a week to read because of work and I was also doing a buddy read so I had to work around my life. I LOVED this book. I really love any book that makes me feel all of the feelings. I loved Beckett and Ella’s chemistry, I loved his love of her children, I loved his connection with his dog and his teammates. If you are a fan of Nicholas Sparks and their movies or hallmark movies this one is for y’all. It ripped my heart out but also made me laugh and hold my loved ones a little tighter.
Great story! It was a page turner, I couldn't put it down. A book full of love, great break and what you would do for family! Highly recommend reading this book.
This book is emotional damage for sure. It started off fantastic and I really thought it was gonna be a major 5 star, life changing read, but it wasn't quite there. The middle kind of dragged and the end was just too much. Overall the emotions of the book and the really good story gets 4.5 stars from me.
I read this book in a day. Could not put it down. It will have you happy, angry, sad, hopeful, then weeping all in one sitting. Great writing, characters that you will love, and a sweet story about love overcoming the odds.
Absolutely amazing book. It absolutely wrecked me. It was so devastatingly heartbreaking but beautiful at the same time. I read it in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. Tugs at your heartstrings and had full blown tears coming down. She writes so well and you feel the words as if it’s your own personal story being told.
