I had no idea it was told in letters, and I found many of the devices used in these letters so well done. I had all the feelings while reading this and I was a total mess at the end. I've seen the movie, but it's been a very long time. I had no idea when I put this on my 23 to read in 2023 that they were making a new movie! I'm excited to see it now that I've read the book. I think this one is based on the Broadway musical, which I know nothing about, but I hope it's closer to the book than the 80s movie. I don't remember a ton about it, but I know they erased entire, important sections of this book.
Definitely one of my top reads of the year.
