The Last Letter

It's been a while since a book has made me this angry. I'm struggling with what to rate it. I was sure it'd be a 4/5 star read up until the last 10% or so. I really dislike when authors add a twist to the story just for shock value. It adds nothing to the story or to the development of the characters, especially when it happens at 90%, at which point most books should be wrapping up nicely. Not this one though.

As if things weren't tragic enough for the main character with having all of her family be dead and her husband walk out on her while pregnant with twins, let's kill her brother in action, give her daughter an aggressive form of cancer, and then the cherry on top, let's kill her other child for the heck of it. No thank you, Rebecca Yarros.

I'd only recommend this if you like to torture yourself. Otherwise, steer clear.
