Old broken hearts and finding each other again. Quirky, nerdy and a little bit of humor. I liked You're my IT from this series a lot more than this one. Still a fun and quick read.

This book is well written and enjoyable, but, unfortunately, suffers from the unlikable hero syndrome. He is too much of a used car salesman in his behavior and values. I was able to appreciate the heroine only as far as she called him out on his BS, but as soon as she stopped, I stopped being able to root for them and even just for her. The fact that the author has chosen an actual stocker to present as comparison point for the hero is not helping the situation. Because, yes, that's about the only comparison in which the hero comes out on top, but setting the bar so low is not really the point, especially when the heroine started off being awesome.
I did enjoy the letter writing though.

Because Charlie is one of my fav authors, I wanted to keep going with this series even though book 1 wasn’t a total homerun. But I think the series just isn’t the right fit for me, and that’s okay. A major part of this book centers on LARPing and playing it out through the text, and that’s not something I care to read through. I might have enjoyed it more had it not played out in such detail. Some readers might really enjoy that, so I don’t want to dissuade potential readers from what could be their next favorite book.

I also feel that the ending was unrewarding. It sort of just ended, and I only knew it was going to be ending because of the page count in the book. It was abrupt and not all that fulfilling. But, again, these are just my preferences. Charlie will continue to be one of my favs, and I encourage other readers to give this a chance.
