The last letter

A soldier's last letter has its own grim etiquette: you write it hoping it never gets read. Ryan's reaches his best friend Beckett, and it asks for one thing. Leave the army, go to Telluride, and look after Ella, Ryan's younger sister, who is raising twins alone after losing her grandmother, her parents and now her brother. She is fiercely independent and will not take help easily, which makes the promise Beckett owes his friend all the harder to keep.

Rebecca Yarros, a Sunday Times bestselling author, builds her story on grief, guilt and loyalty, setting a man shaped by service against a woman who has had to carry everything herself. It is an emotional, openly romantic novel about what we owe the people we lose, best for anyone who likes their love stories with real weight and does not mind a few tears along the way.
