I love how different Alex and Henry's relationship is from their emails to the way they act together 😭😭😭 Their emails to each other made me feel things I never thought a romance novel would make me feel,and this is coming from a romance novel hater.. Anyways I'll be sobbing for the rest of eternity..

History, Huh?

A sweet love story between two characters with amazing chemistry. I didn't love reading the political parts, even if it was fiction, but they were integral to the worlds of the characters. I would honestly love a sequel.

After seeing the videos and trailer of the film adaption floating around and telling myself I'm going to read the book first, I finally did! They are an adorable couple. Their relationship via email and text were fleshed out, but when they are in person, it feels like we can do with a few less sex moments. The ending leaned into the political side of the story, so unless you're verse or interested in US Presidential election, you will likely end up skimming through it to the character portions.

3.0

Might have liked this more if the audio book man didn’t have an annoying voice. 

Didn’t enjoy a single character and it gave me the book repeatedly.

3 stars bc it wasn’t awful and there were some nice bits in it, just not for me.
