Word of advice...
if your fifth grade pen pal who you have exchanged hateful letters with for years finds you, moves into your building, meets you under false pretenses, conceals his identify, tampers with your mail, starts a relationship with you and has sex with you ONLY coming clean about his identity once you have basically figured it out, please do the normal thing and get a restraining order (and maybe some higher standards.) IDC if he's hot. IDC if he's an animal doctor,
this plot was unsalvageable...

OBSESSED I loved the banter between the characters and the letters were HILARIOUS. I did see the plot twist coming, but kept trying to talk myself out of it. But honestly the banter and the lead up and the letters and getting to see the different timelines was perfection. Loved every second

Quite lovely. The plot is kinda predictable so it ends up being quite light-hearted even during the hardship time of the characters. There are some serious scenes though. Well-written. 


I do not like lies so that part of the plot was a bit frustrating to me but I feel like the author handled it well. But it felt a bit prolonged to me. That's the main reason for lowering the rating a bit.
