Oh my HEART. Was I a crying puddle on my living room floor upon finishing this book? I sure was. It caught me by surprise, the way I felt connected to these characters through letters (entire book is epistolary) in such a short time. But my heart was TAKEN and then also SQUEEZED and SMUSHED a bit and then given a hug and a bandaid. This book will make you hungry, nostalgic, and happy and sad and wonderful and ahhhhh just read it.
