Molly Alcott didn’t expect to open her mailbox one summer morning and find an old letter stuffed between bills and a supermarket flyer. Penned in familiar handwriting, dated over fifteen years ago, the letter was written to Molly after her first date with the man she’ll never forget.

Week after week, new letters appear. Each marks an event in the history of their epic love affair. Each heals a wound. Each holds the confession of the man who still owns Molly’s heart.

The letters are full of promise, hope and love, but truth be told, Molly wishes she could unread them all.

Because the man who wrote these letters is not the one sending them.

Review: Letters To Molly

A woman reconnects with her ex-husband after they revisit their past—the good, and the ugly—via mysterious letters in Devney Perry’s latest novel.

Molly Alcott has been divorced for six years, and so she didn’t expect to receive a letter from her ex-husband dated fifteen years ago, chronicling the night they first met. Every word and sentiment stir up long-buried feelings, upsetting the now-easy truce between them.

It had been a long time since their relationship imploded, Finn had dated, and she had finally found her stride with their two kids, including working with Poppy (her friend and ex-sister in law) at The Maysen Jar.

But as more letters arrive, it becomes clear Finn isn’t sending them. Regardless, both Finn and Molly are forced to re-live the best and worst of their marriage. As a result, they’re dredging up emotions and truths which had never been shared. Tempting old ways to surface. Desire and love—perhaps never forgotten—re-igniting in the dark.

But even as passion rekindles, what destroyed them the first time, could destroy the delicate hope that’s begun to take root.

Perry’s LETTERS TO MOLLY is a heartwarming emotional journey. I loved that it started with a marriage, exploring the fragility and fear within it, the love and the heartbreak that often define it.

I was swept away by Molly and Finn’s story (who we met in THE BIRTHDAY LIST). Felt the tension, the chemistry, the hurt and love that thrummed between them, often all at once in a way that kept me furiously turning the pages. The story felt intimate and special in that indelible, magical Devney Perry way we’ve all come to expect, and I loved it so much. As a fan of THE BIRTHDAY LIST, I also loved seeing Poppy and Cole again.

Tender and poignant, this is a second-chance romance you shouldn’t miss.
