The Last Letter

 I belong to a book club!:) Its members are me and my nieces Mai and Kim.:) We recently discovered that we actually read books. Shocking!!Lol!!

Mai acquired a Kindle to deviate a bit from her Tiktok obsession. In our group chat, she recommended the novel, The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros. I read the sample on Kindle, inevitably I wanted to continue with the story so I gave in and agreed to Kindle Unlimited membership. 

I deleted Facebook and Instagram apps on my iphone. I plan to "waste" my time on reading and watching movies, especially all that star Robert Downey Jr.

The Last Letter had me very personally involved with all its characters. It is a family drama of Ella McKenzie and her twins, Maisie and Colt, and Beckett Gentry- Call Sign Chaos. I will not make a book review here. All I can say is the story brought fat, big tears that almost turned to sobs, I wanna scream especially when seven-year-old Colt died. I gasped for breath, feeling and crying with Chaos, Ella and Maisie.

Our boys Char and Nugget stayed with me at the living room, staring at me with pawed- sympathy while I hold my Kindle, my heart and spirit crushed and twisted to fragments with grief. I moved back to the day and months after my Mamang left the earthly world. How physical breathing is too much of a task to do naturally.

Oh, books and reading. We shall continue to have a tight and steady relationship.


Reading. Cathartic. Worthwhile.
