The last letter from your lover - Jojo Moyes

pages: 390  published: 2011

 This is a book about star crossed lovers. In the 1960s, Jennifer Stirling wakes up from a coma after a horrible car crash suffering from amnesia. Her family remains very vague on the circumstances of the accident and very little information in general is given to her on her life. She is expected to slip back into it without making a fuss. Hard as she may try, she feels a disconnect and something feels broken between her and her husband. Things start to make sense when Jennifer stumbles upon a lover letter hidden in her personal belongings, signed simply "B". In 2013, a young journalist named Ellie finds this very same letter in the archives of her newspaper, and decides to investigate.

 I would have given this book an extra star if the story line of Ellie hadn't been such a cliche of "lucky coincidences" and "happy ending" chick lit. The main storyline of the story, Jennier and Bs' story, is much more authentic.
