The story is solid. I love how the author brought up mental illness topics.
Griffin and Luca exchanged letters during their childhood, but Luca stopped replying to his letters after a horrible incident. They once again exchanged letters and rekindled their relationship — without them knowing each others’ identities.
I wouldn’t say that the romance is instalove, because they did have feelings for each other before they rekindled their relationship. The letter, however, is a little bit cringey for adults. I know that they were childhood friends. But asking for an orgasm just after rekindling their relationship…

This is a beautiful book and one that’s been on my TBR for a long time. I’m such a sucker for the pen pal/falling in love through letters trope. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it as much as I had, but it’s an addictive love story. I enjoyed the depiction of mental health struggles, as someone whose day job is a therapist. Griffin really stole my heart. His emotions, the angst between them, ugh! He’s such a sweetheart and made this entire book. He’s patient with her, and just..I can’t put into words how lovely this relationship was. Good, quick read!
Favourite Quote:“In case I wasn’t clear, love is enough for me, Luca. But you have to let me love you.”

so many emotions with this book... i love the plot, i love the relationship, the odd friendship between luca and her therapist, the letters, luca’s strength and her fight and the way everything in that story made sense. i LOVE books which start with letters. i love to read about pen pals meeting
i wasn’t going to stick to it at first because something the MC wrote in a letter towards the beginning was pretty disgusting to me : calling women easy because they sleep with him, implying they weren’t respecting themselves and that he after all was simply a man accepting them all and a few other bullshit sentences -it took a whole page- i didn’t want to read about such a man. in the grand scheme of things it’s only ONE page and one small event, it still remains pretty awful to me that two women came up with this. a woman should dispose of her body the way she chooses and it IS important to point out and not perpetuate this line of thinking.

I really enjoyed the premise of this one. The first half of this book was amazing as the letters were so fun to read. It's so much easier to say some things and to be yourself online/through letters which was cute to see, but then when they met up in real life, some of the things they said felt very awkward or too upfront. However, that is me being very picky! I still really enjoyed this book, the romance was adorable, and the anxiety disorder was mostly well dealt with. The second half was what let the book down, as it got really shallow and repetitive, only switching between sex to anxiety attacks to sex again- but the potential of the author shines through in the first half, and I've liked another of their books, so I will be trying more!
