“Right from the beginning, The Last Text You Sent had me hooked into Avery’s world, with unexpected twists and turns that were both beautiful and emotional. Elise Fender wonderfully portrays Avery with so many relatable emotions aside from just losing a sibling — alienation at school and at home, survivor’s guilt, and even guilt at finding her own happiness in the midst of her grief. I couldn’t have asked for a more well-developed character nor a more smoothly woven-together storyline. The family relationships are just as beautiful as the innocently blossoming romance between Avery and Jack. I highly recommend The Last Text You Sent to fans of young adult books, and I will definitely be reading this one again.”
