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.
Ryan
My Review
I really did this to myself. I set out looking for a book that would make me feel everything—that would wreck me emotionally, maybe even make me cry. And wow… I got so much more than I bargained for.
This book didn’t just make me cry—it shattered me. I was full-on sobbing while cooking dinner, listening to the audiobook, clutching a spatula like it could save me from the heartbreak. And yet… it’s hands-down my favorite read of the year so far.
At its heart, this is a pen-pal romance—but with a twist. Ella writes letters to “Chaos,” a soldier deployed overseas. Chaos is Beckett—her late brother Ryan’s best friend. After Ryan’s passing, Beckett shows up to support Ella and her twins, all while keeping his identity as Chaos a secret. She falls for the man behind the letters…and she falls for Beckett too—without realizing they’re the same person. (Yes, it’s as gut-wrenching as it sounds.)
Beckett is everything. Gentle, steady, selfless. A true hero in every sense. The way he shows up for Ella—physically, emotionally, in the most vulnerable and painful moments—is just beautiful. He’s the kind of fictional man who ruins you for all others.
This book took turns I never saw coming. It hit me with emotion after emotion, and the ending? Absolutely wrecked me. I cried like a baby, and I didn’t even care.
I already knew Rebecca Yarros could write amazing romantasy, but after this? It’s clear her superpower is crafting love stories that break you and piece you back together again. I’m officially working my way through her entire backlist, and I cannot wait to dive into more.
