Engaging story, interesting characters, and incredibly well-written. At some points a bit hard to follow, but that's mostly due to the unfamiliar sociolect.

This is such a beautiful book which really highlights the difficulties of life. It provides a wonderful narrative about love and religion through a series of thought provoking letters. I cannot recommend this book enough.
