I genuinely could not put this book down and finished the entire thing in one sitting. Jack and Julia's relationship will bring every emotion out of you! I was laughing, crying, and screaming at my iPad the entire time. Becca's writing is beautiful and raw, and the story is a real and refreshing take on those "what if?" relationships we've all had. The characters are relatable and I saw parts of myself in them as they went from teenagers to adults. Highly recommend this book!

One of my favorite books now. Got me out of my rut of not reading for a while and brought me back to my love of reading AND writing. A must read. ❤️

This book spun me out emotionally like no book ever has before. I recommend this book to anyone but especially those with a long lingering “what if” with their first big love - but be warned that this book will summon them to your dreams and imbed themselves into anything you listen to. This book is so honest and it felt like Becca had been living in my brain throughout my teenage years. If you enjoy romance this book should definitely be on your TBR (or better yet read it right now) ;)

A MUST READ!! Letters to Jack teleports you back to what it feels like to be a teenager in love, where nothing else matters in the world but your person! Becca’s writing is so honest and encapsulates exactly what it’s like to be in love at that time and how that sticks with you throughout your life. I read this in two days, one of those days I stayed up until 2am because I couldn’t put it down! The twists and turns of this love story keep you wanting more!

I enjoyed the beginning middle and end of this book! I could not put it down! It pulled so many emotions from me. The alternate ending was a pleasant twist too! I would definitely recommend taking time to get lost in this story 💕

This book is such a great read. It is written sooo well. Could not put it down!!! Loved it so much

Letters to Jack is a beautifully written exploration of love, loss, and the ways we rebuild ourselves after heartbreak. Becca Barnoski’s approach gives the narrative a striking intimacy, inviting the reader into moments that feel private yet universally relatable. Her prose is clean and evocative, capturing emotion without melodrama. What makes the book shine is its quiet honesty. Becca writes with equal parts vulnerability and strength, creating a reading experience that is deeply personal and unexpectedly cathartic. A moving debut that stays with you.

Beautifully written and full of genuine emotion! This book has all the romance and drama you could hope for, yet feels so relatable to anyone who’s ever had a high school love that left a mark. It’s a story that truly stays with you, I kept thinking about the letters long after I finished. A quick but heartfelt read, perfect for anyone who loves romance with an honest look at the raw, unfiltered side of first love.

What I loved most about Letters to Jack is how unfiltered it feels and how it felt like you weren't just reading a novel but stepping into someones real life. The story doesn’t shy away from the messiness of growing up, and that rawness made the characters feel alive to me - so alive that I found myself laughing, sighing, and rooting for them all at once. It’s emotional without being predictable, and the dual endings were such a unique touch. I finished the book both teary and impressed.
