2.0

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.

This enjoyable read is like watching a beloved rom-com. You think you know how it’s going to turn out but there’s enough obstacles that you aren’t completely confident in the ending you’re hoping for.
