Letters of the North: The Last Letter of the North

Lina Winchester’s new book—a popular author of youth sentimental prose. The first part of the duology “The Last Letter of the North” in the setting of an American school and a rock band will remind you of the novels “To All the Boys I’ve Loved,” “The Deal,” and also the movie “The Simple Man.” The novel is about lost friendship, a second chance, love, and how important it is to value yourself.

All summer I waited for the end of the vacation so I could finally meet Oliver. The plan was simple: confess to my best friend that I loved him and live with him happily ever after. But I didn’t factor in the fact that when I returned to town, Oli would run into his ex-girlfriend and break my heart. Suddenly, Jake Elford steps in and offers to help me win Oliver—and I don’t know if I can trust him. When we were kids, Jake and I were friends until he moved out of the trailer park and started acting like we’d never even met. Jake is popular at school, charming, friends with Oli, and constantly throws out sarcastic jokes. So why would he help me all of a sudden? I hope I won’t regret my decision.
