The Last Letter

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.

Absolutely wrecked me-in the best and worst way.The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros is one of those books that stays with you long after you finish. It's raw, emotional, and honestly just beautiful. I didn't expect to cry this much, but here we are. The characters felt so real, and the way Yarros handled love, loss, and healing was just... wow. Heartbreaking and hopeful all at once.This book broke me. I bawled my eyes out and should've listened to everyone who warned me l'd be destroyed after reading it. My heart goes out to Beckett, Maisie, Ella-and most of all, Colt. This story is going to live rent-free in my heart forever. It was my first introduction to Rebecca Yarros, and I seriously dove into the deep end choosing this one as my starting point. I didn't predict the ending at all-I was completely blindsided. What I love most is how real Rebecca made everything feel. The way grief is portrayed-how it messes with your thoughts, how it doesn't follow rules-it hit so hard. Sometimes things just happen, and we're left trying to make sense of it when there's no one to blame. And that's the hardest part. 💔😭Easily a 5-star⭐️ read for me. If you're looking for a book that'll break you and somehow put you back together, this is it!! But I Do Not Recommend this book to anyone !
