Thank you to HarperCollins, One More Chapter, and Netgalley for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review!
Hate Mail is a hilarious childhood rivals to lovers romcom, Naomi and Luca battle each other out since elementary school via pen pal letters, coming up with the most random and hurtful insults toward each other. This exchange of letters lasts for several years until they are brought to an abrupt end.
And just when our FMC Naomi is about to move one she gets a surprise letter from Lucas, and so begins her quest to find him!
Luca and Naomi have an interesting dynamic and one that I surprisingly enjoyed! Their romance begins way deep in the rocks and blooms as it continues. The letters in their early elementary school days definitely had me cracking up given how silly and flat out MEAN they were.
The book is written in a dual pov featuring the letters and the timelines in which they were written in, I actually was able to enjoy the jump in timelines given how entertaining each timeline and the letter alongside with it was!
If you want a book with the perfect early 2000's vibes alongside some great humor and adorable romance this is definitely the book for you!
This book would have gotten a higher rating but I wasn't entirely a fan of how the conflict was resolved but it was pretty cute!
The pets in this book get a highlight of their own because they were simply adorable! I will always be a fan of pets in books <3333
