✨ARC Review✨
Thank you for my digital ARC! All opinions are my own and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Nora has been offered a spot in a prestigious mentorship program that will provide her all the tools necessary to successfully start her business, the only requirement is that she must write monthly progress emails to the unknown billionaire benefactor who is sponsoring her through the program. Thinking her benefactor will never read them, she uses the emails as though she’s writing to a close friend with updates about her life.
Javier is a philanthropist whose life goal is to use his wealth to support and uplift young entrepreneurs wishing to start their own business, but who are barred from the network and resources of the upper class. In response, he created a sponsorship program to connect people with an elite incubator program that will give his sponsee access to the best business mentors, networking events and investors to help them with startup development and funding for their fledgling businesses. The only problem, no one knows Javier is the creator of the sponsorship program, and if the incubator finds out, it could jeopardize his program’s future. What happens when Nora and Javier meet and become good friends, and she doesn’t know she’s been writing to him this whole time?”
I really enjoyed Nora’s character. She is incredibly confident in her ideas, from the beginning, and doesn’t let anything get in the way of achieving her dreams. She is incredibly reluctant to let people get close enough to let her walls come down (rightfully so), but overtime she begins to appreciate the benefits that come with having people in your life you can be vulnerable with.
I also really appreciated how emotionally intelligent Javier is. He always knew exactly how to respond or act that would put Nora at ease or make her feel comfortable, and he also knew when to step back and give space so as to not overwhelm her. He not only told her that she could trust him and expected her to implicitly believe him, he let his actions speak for him and showed her that he was someone she could rely on. I think his groveling was written really well. He made sure to give her space to come to a decision about their relationship. He didn’t center himself or his feelings, but recognized he made a mistake and wanted nothing more than for her to be happy.
I personally have always been really interested in epistolary stories because I think it’s a really interesting way of storytelling and having characters interact. It allows them to be more open and honest with each other and really gives us insight into how the characters organize their thoughts and feelings. I was also so happy to see the rest of the friend group return from the previous books. They are such a sweet found family and they welcomed Nora with open arms. I think that this was a great end to the series and I can’t wait to read more of Leonor Soliz’s work!”
