Soon to be a major motion picture streaming on Netflix, starring Felicity Jones, Shailene Woodley, and Callum Turner From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars, a sophisticated, page-turning double love story spanning forty years
It is 1960. When Jennifer Stirling wakes up in the hospital, she can remember nothing-not the tragic car accident that put her there, not her husband, not even who she is. She feels like a stranger in her own life until she stumbles upon an impassioned letter, signed simply "B", asking her to leave her husband. Years later, in 2003, a journalist named Ellie discovers the same enigmatic letter in a forgotten file in her newspaper's archives. She becomes obsessed by the story and hopeful that it can resurrect her faltering career. Perhaps if these lovers had a happy ending she will find one to her own complicated love life, too. Ellie's search will rewrite history and help her see the truth about her own modern romance. A spellbinding, intoxicating love story with a knockout ending, The Last Letter from Your Lover will appeal to the readers who have made One Day and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society bestsellers.

"Another cracker from Jojo Moyes set in current times and in the 1960s following a lady who met the love of her life after realising her husband doesn't care for her. The letters her lover writes to her are the star of this story as Ellie, a journalist in current times uses them to write an article and to try to find out what happened to the two back in the 60s. A lovely story."

“A prize-winning, cross-generational love story of missed connections and delayed gratification…A nicely judged sense of period and the author’s full-blooded commitment lend heartfelt emotion.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)" I had a difficult time going back and forth with the different settings in time. I got confused often and had to keep looking back and forth. "
— Colleen, 2/12/2014" Enjoyed this more than I thought I would--got really sucked up in the story, especially the older one (that mostly takes place in the 60s). Everyone in our book club liked this. "
— Mona, 2/11/2014" This book is so suspenseful and it is not a cheesy novel, as the title might suggest. Really worth reading! "
— Jodi, 2/10/2014" This book held my interest the whole way, loved the way it was wrote,loved how you felt like you knew the people and it was great how it was wrapped up. I really must get some more books by Jojo. "
— Bonnie, 2/9/2014" This is one of the most creatively written and reality-in-your-face book I've read. "
— Kirstin, 2/2/2014" Infidelity is infidelity. It's wrong! That said I really enjoyed the book. The story drew me in immediately. She is a solid writer and the story was absorbing.I am happy to have discovered this writer. Also finished "Me Before You" which I enjoyed immensely. "
— Mary, 1/31/2014" I am not a romance reader of any kind, yet loved this book. I can understand how we are all human. How things are simple yet complex. Affairs of today versus affairs of the past. I enjoyed how the author captures life in the 60's and life in 2003. This book is a must read! "
— Amber, 1/19/2014" Nice romantic story. A little predictable but thought provoking on how lives of women have changed in my lifetime. "

— Apple_1968, 1/7/2014" Got into this towards the end of part 2! Not a very realistic tale to be honest. would only recommend it is you can spare the time! "
