This was so easy to read in a day, because I simply couldn't get enough! The characters were lovable, the conflict was expected but not contrived and annoying. It was funny and had me rooting for the main characters the whole time.

This was very cute. This author writes anxiety and trauma pretty well where it’s relatable and understandable but not so overwhelming that the story can’t have a happy ending.

4.0

I appreciated the portrayal of Jacob's anxiety, and loved how Briana naturally responded to it. I didn't love seeing Jacob sometimes get steamrolled by his family - yes they were loving, but also overbearing. I also honestly don't understand why everyone was so up in arms about his ex getting together with his brother, when she and Jacob had clearly not been a good match. 

I had some issues with the pacing and struggled with keeping track of the passage of time. I wish the letters had been dated, or there had been other clear markers between events. Questionable decisions and lack of communication aside, I was won over by the characters' chemistry and care for each other.
