The Last Letter by Susan Pogorzelski
5.0

This novel was told in the form of letters to an unknown reader via a time capsule. The letters show this young girl's struggle as she battles a mystery illness that consumes her body, mind and basically her whole life.

The letters were very emotional to read, there was so much pain, confusion and heartbreak going on for not only Lia but her family as well. I can't imagine watching my daughter go through something like this, and since my daughter is around the age of Lia now, that's where my mind went for most of the book.

I hope more people will read this book and more awareness will be brought to Lyme Disease. I have a friend who battled it, and even I didn't know how truly awful it could be. I hope I was never a Mollie to my friend.
