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.

Rebecca Yarros is a hopeless romantic and lover of all things chocolate, coffee, and Paleo. In addition to being a mom, military wife, and blogger, she can never choose between Young Adult and New Adult fiction, so she writes both. She's a graduate of Troy University, where she studied European history and English, but still holds out hope for an acceptance letter to Hogwarts. Her blog, The Only Girl Among Boys, has been voted the Top Military Mom Blog the last two years, and celebrates the complex issues surrounding the military life she adores. When she's not writing, she's tying on hockey skates for her kids, or sneaking in some guitar time. She is madly in love with her army-aviator husband of eleven years, and they're currently stationed in Upstate NY with their gaggle of rambunctious kiddos and snoring English Bulldog, but she would always rather be home in Colorado.
When Ella asked her brother if any of his fellow soldiers needed a pen pal from home she never thought that it would amount to anything more than a friendship of sorts, one where there was a good possibility that they would never meet face to face. With caring for her twins and keeping up the demands of her resort, she has little time to explore a relationship with anyone, let alone date, so this pen pal option is perfect for many reasons. It gives her the chance to be the bright spot in a lonely soldiers dim world, and gives her the chance to carry on an adult conversation and get a break from her solitary world. It's a blessing in disguise for both of them, but then his letters stop coming...
The Last Letter is a deeply moving tale that will seep into the recesses of your heart and soul and leave it permanently touched. There is so much to love about this story, it shines a light on the lives of our military service men and women, and gives us an honest glimpse of what they go through while on deployments. It shows us the adjustments they must make when their job is done and they have to return home to find a new normal, and all the struggles that come with it. And it also shows the enduring strength of a mothers love, and the lengths that she will go to to protect her child. This beautifully crafted story left my heart in ruins, but little by little it mended it too, and left me with a deep appreciation for our military members and their families. I have no doubt that this read is going to be a favorite of romance readers, it's pages hold a story that is certain to give a nice tug on their heartstrings, and take them on a journey they will never forget!
