I loved it, but I wish it had been a little longer.
I was super excited when I saw that the author had a new book out. I begged the junior high librarian to let me borrow it for spring break (it isn't even wrapped and ready to put on the shelves yet). Turns out I could have asked just to borrow it for the night because I finished it that same day.
I loved this book! I have a weak spot for stories with letters and this book is about two high school students who sit in the same desk during different chemistry classes. They start writing letters back and forth and since they do so anonymously they are able to open up and be themselves. The story is told from Lily's point of view. I came to love Lily and her crazy family during the book. I loved the reveal at the end! I read with a big grin on my face which is very typical with any Kasie West book.

Very cute and quick read. Great book to get me back from my reading slump
This book is probably the cutest story I've ever read. It had me smiling and laughing with the characters from beginning to end. Although it was obvious from the beginning who her anonymous pen pal was, that didn't make the build up to the reveal any less enjoyable to read. I love the idea of communicating through letters, and I found myself anticipating them along with Lily, excited to watch their romance grow through their exchanges. Overall, the main characters were funny and likable, the plot was adorable, and I will definitely be putting the rest of Kasie West's books on my TBR list.
Why I picked it up: No idea but it’s been in my holds forever. I suspended it when I gave up on eBooks back in the fall and decided it was time now.
How I read it: On Kindle over two days.
What it’s about: Lily feels like everything is going wrong. Her family’s crazy. The cool guy at school not only hates her but tortures her too. Her best friend can’t stop setting her up. And she can’t say more that two words to her crush. So she doodles a song lyric on her desk in chemistry and ends up with a pen pal.
What I liked: The letter writing aspect of the story. It was sweet and very “You’ve Got Mail” like!!
What I disliked: Her older sister was a pain, I wanted her to be more mature but she was a typical 19 year old.
Genre: Young Adult, epistolary.
Rating & Recommendation: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and it’s sweet!!

My high school self is melting. This book was so cute and made me ache with wanting to be 17 again. *sigh
very slow to start. The main character was extremely whiny and woe is me type of girl. About halfway the book picked up and I couldn’t put it down.
