On its own merits, I'd say that The Last Letter From Your Lover is an easy-to-read, compelling, and often heart-warming story of lost love and second chances. The narrative switches between modern day and the 1960s, and the structure isn't always seamless or comfortable. Because this book is written by an author whose works I generally love, I feel that this one suffers a bit by comparison. It's simply not as top-notch as many of Moyes's other books -- and that's why I only give it 3 stars (although 3.5 would probably be a better choice). 
 This is certainly a good book, interesting and fast-paced -- just not up the standard I'd expect from a Jojo Moyes book.
