4.0

Let me start off with that I'm a huge fan of the online friendship/crush trope. The mystery of who the other person is, the sharing of so much of yourself, the fear when communication suddenly gets cut off, the pining to meet but also the desperation to keep the relationship as is*chef's kiss!* So thus I naturally drawn to this book! In this case, it's more one-sided anonymous with one using a pen name than the usual case but the relationship between the two main characters is so sweet in their emails!

I really liked both main characters, relating to both of them in ways. And it's so heart warming to see them encourage one another and help the other embrace their dreams!

That being said, the instant physical attraction they have is a bit much for me. Makes for some steamy romance later on, but that's not always my cup of tea.

Overall, great story here!
