jenikki 's review for:

5.0

I don't even know how to describe these books. It's probably the most unique reading experience you'll ever have, with a story so elusive and yet tangible it defies description. Sabine is a woman in the South Pacific who sends a postcard to Griffin asking for some of his artwork, but he has no idea who she is. Then she reveals a shocking connection the two of them have, and through their letters that span the rest of the book and the two sequels that follow, they fall in love, but keep missing each other, and can't figure out how to connect physically instead of just in words. It's a love story like no other, with gorgeous, gorgeous artwork throughout. Each postcard is handwritten; each letter is in its own envelope and you take the letter right out of the book and read it like you're voyeuristically reading someone else's mail while simultaneously feeling like it was written only for you. Read these books and fall in love in a new and exciting way. I adore this series.
