My first 5 star read of the year. I loved this book. The plot had me hooked and the journey to finding her purpose was so good.

Dreadful. Mad that I forced myself to finish this book. Life’s too short to spend it reading books that make you this annoyed. The main character was insufferable, the conflict was dumb and predicated on people not communicating, and it dragged on for far too long only to have an incredibly abrupt ending. If I ever read another sentence about how a character wants to channel the spirit of Emily Dickinson, or spends every chapter asking themselves “WWEDD?” (what would Emily Dickinson do?), it will be too soon. What a slog of a read.

I got sucked into this story, even though there were parts that annoyed me. This was essentially the plot of Youve Got Mail but with a FMC who's unnaturally obsessed with Emily Dickinson and trying to live like she did. The plot felt really predictable and slow moving.
The characters got together so quickly in the last pages, I was like that's it??? The FMC was a bit annoying, especially with all of the forcing herself to do hobbies that she didn;t enjoy, and I didn’t see chemistry with the MMC. There was also so much hemming and hawing about who the letter writer could possibly be, but she never talks to any of the other “contenders” or builds up tension with them. It was a foregone conclusion from the beginning.
Thank you to Netgalley and Lake Union Publishing for an early copy of this book in exchange for. my honest review.
