The Last Letter, by Rebecca Yarros, really upset me. The author puts the characters through constant tragedy, and just when it feels like they’ve earned a happy ending, another unnecessary blow is added for shock value. I felt cheated—especially since this book is marketed as a romance, and the ending is anything but emotionally satisfying.
While the writing is beautiful and the love story is powerful, the relentless heartbreak drained me. Far more bittersweet and sad than rewarding. I read romance to escape, and this book didn’t deliver that for me.
If you want a true HEA, avoid this one. If you’re okay with heavy tragedy and emotional exhaustion, you might feel differently.
