 ... another perfectly timed selection, methinks.

    I loved this book!

    The twists and turns that this book took, kept me reading. Always wondering what became of the characters over the years.

    One major question I walk away with, is what Esme the daughter of Laurence and Jennifer or Anthony and Jennifer? I do wish that had been answered.

    It was funny how many lives ran parallel to each other:

    How many people did the pompous Laurence cheat on his wife with.

    Ellie and Rory, such an unusual couple.

    Knowing that Anthony was in the library the whole time that Ellie was wrestling with the storyline of the lost love of the 60s.

    I kind of saw that meeting in the restaurant would not have been with Jack.

    Melissa was the odd character in the book, but good to see some of her behavior explained in the phone call to her little girl about why her mother had to work so much and balancing all the scales and do the right things and how hard it was.

    Going back and forth between the years and decades made this a very interesting read. Make me wonder what was around the next corner, the next letter.

    5 stars!

    First, I must confess a guilty pleasure of mine that is reading a certain weekly column in the local newspaper called "How We Met" where a couple is interviewed about where/when/how they became acquainted with one another before becoming exclusive. I'm a total sucker for that column and can't wait to read it each week. "The Last Letter from Your Lover" reminds me of my favorite column - but 1,000 times better! I absolutely fell in love with this book in so many ways. In fact, I personally feel like the real-life version of Ellie in the way she becomes obsessed with learning the lovers' history. So heartfelt and touching the way Moyes brings the story full-circle.

    5++ stars and a new favorite!
