However, where it eventually fell short was after that 85% mark. It got to a point where the plot - though already quite fast paced in some places - felt rushed, as if this 14-chapter-per-part aesthetic was what limited the author to progress the plot further in less time. Also, I know it is a YA, but Iris and Roman definitely felt a lot older. 18 and 19 just wasn't believable after a point, and the Young Adult genre still would have held if they were in their early to mid 20s.

YA books aren't normally what I go for, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the kind of story I didn't know I needed. I finished it in one day!

great read and i gobbled it up but it was
however i felt like it was missing SOMETHING but i cant put my finger on it which is the reason for my 4 stars
overall it was a sweet story and it was pretty sad at some parts but not so sad where i felt like crying
also there was a bit of a cliffhanger but idk it was barely giving anything
their relationship for thr first half of the book was so sweet and fun to read dint get me wrong
but after that they js started giving into their impulses and js doing anything like BRO SLOW DOWN and if you dont plan on reading this book:
like you CANNOT convince me that he fell in love over her letters to her brother??? like hello????
anyway the war aspect of the story i really enjoyed and thought it was rlly interesting and so were the magical typewriters but i wish there was more detail to the history of the typewriters
also ik fantasy is one of the tags but this was like historical romance w just a tad of fantasy js to make it seem like it has a plot soooo π π π

Despite the amount of triggers I listed, this is not a horror book but it does involve war so it has this stuff. The sexual content is very minimal but because itβs a YA book, you might want to know itβs there.
