I really liked the book! I liked the letter structure and appreciated all of the themes covered. I certainly did not expect to laugh out loud at parts, especially so early on. Those who've read the book or seen one of the film adaptations might guess at what was the cause of this!
Didn't have as much of an emotional pull as I thought it would have though!

I’m not sure me in the past would have appreciated this as much as I can at this time in my life. As they say, books reach us at the right time. This one certainly did.
It’s a story of love, loss, redemption, and trauma. It’s life and death. Wonderful, wonderful book.

In advance, I was wary of its form - through letters, but it worked out surprisingly well. And I'm also becoming more and more of a sucker for stories in which the real love story is platonic. This is such a rich story, and I can’t wait to see how it translates into films.
