Slow burner, this book took me ages to get into. However the last half of the book I couldn’t get enough of.
I loved this book so much, bought it on a day trip to Heraklion and read it by the pool in Malia ☀️
A lovely story of love and loss beautifully written in an idyllic location.
It was thoroughly enjoyable.

This book is basically a love letter to Greece. ❤️
I'll be back with a proper review, but know that I really enjoyed it.

One Last Letter from Greece by Emma Cowell
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books and I am leaving this review voluntarily
Devastated by her mother’s death, Sophie longs to get away from an empty house full of memories and a life that hasn’t quite turned out as she had imagined.
So when a chance discovery among her mother’s belongings hints at a past Sophie knows nothing of, she jumps at the opportunity for escape and a chance to heal. The magical, idyllic Greek town of Methoni awaits…
But Sophie – determined to uncover her mother’s secrets – is about to discover so much more. Among the tranquil waters and cozy tavernas, Methoni’s locals offer Sophie the answers she craves, along with unexpected romance and, if she’ll take it, a chance at her own happiness…
This book should appeal to all of the romantics out there but be warned there are a lot of triggers in this book (domestic violence, loss of a parent and miscarriage). Personally I felt that the plot was a little bit weak and I felt like the connections between the characters needed more work. The story is set in a great place with some good descriptions but my mind was able to drift away from the book very easily.
Rating 3/5

2.5* rounded up
A story about love, loss and a mother's decision to put her child first at the expense of her own happiness. This book will appeal to the romantics out there as it offers a poignant love story between two young, grieving people who manage to find a way to trust each other despite being let down in the past.
For me personally, the plot twist was quite obvious and at times the story stalled in unnecessary details regarding the environment at the expense of elaborating more on the characters' past and relations. The side story about Tasha and her IVF treatments, although relevant to many struggling couples out there, was a bit boring for me and I struggled to feel the genuine connection between two best friends in this case.
