omg I don’t know where to start. This was the best reading experience I’ve had in a while. I started reading this completely unaware about what it was about, and all I can say is that I need to go in blind more often. This book was so sweet!! The characters were sweet and likeable, I really have a soft spot for Luca now. I also loved how we got to see both Naomi’s and Luca’s pov but that they were set out in different times. The plot was amazing and I couldn’t stop reading, it just kept getting more and more excited as it went on. The ending and the big “plot twist” might have been a bit predictable, but honestly I didn’t mind it because I loved how it turned out. I did not expect to love this book as much as I did. Sad to see that Donna Marchetti doesn’t have any other books out yet but can’t wait for her next

Their letters weren’t just hate mail, they were fully BURNING each other. The banter from such a young age, for so long as well, had me in stitches. The lengths she went to just to track Luca down, when all along he was right in front of her?! Completely called it when he didn’t react to her name dropping Luca after the adult time, but even with how obvious it was I was enthralled with the book. My heart broke for Luca and all he went through with his family but was glad he got to have his dad back and his pen pal, FINALLY! I need Anne and Patrick’s book now 👀 hint hint Donna

I really loved this book. So much, in fact, that I finished it in one day. The premise was adorable, childhood penpals who never stopped writing until one day as adults the letters do stop, only to start up again two years later. I thought that the characters were fun and the build-up to them finally meeting was so incredibly exciting. I was quite literally shaking and giggling in my
Spoilers (kind of) below:
I saw a lot of lower rating reviews with spoilers but didn't read them until after I finished the book. I'm not going to reveal anything (although the big plot twist is pretty obvious), but I will say this: Yeah, if this happened in real life, it would be a *little* creepy and a tad far-fetched. But like, isn't that the point? Most rom-com, especially enemies-to-lovers, are far-fetched! I think some people read this book and took it WAY too seriously. I adored Luca, and while he probably should have revealed himself sooner, I wasn't mad about it either, especially since you had good POV and knew how bad he felt about it. All in all, this was a great book AND it had a dog AND people need to stop taking themselves so seriously.
