featherofstone 's review for:
The Last Letter from Your Lover
by Jojo Moyes
Really, I'd give this book a 3.5, but Goodreads won't let me.
Anyway. This is one of those books that I'm glad I stuck with- the beginning is slow, but the ending is rewarding enough, even if it is a bit unlikely. The author's choice of pacing drove me a little crazy (the first half of the book is all in the 60's, then we jump to 2003, with the 60's sprinkled in,) so if you aren't paying very close attention to the date header, it takes some time getting used to where you are, especially since the same characters (with the exception of Rory and Ellie) are throughout the book. Overall, if this book could have been edited a bit more, it definitely could have received a 4 or a 5 from me- the writing is beautiful, the time period rather spot on, the story itself has enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested, as long as they make it past the first third of the book.
