This would have been a five star book if it made more sense.  Half the time I was reading (or more) I had no clue what was going on.  But the way the book was written was just so damn good too.  The letters got better and better, as did the love story between Red and Blue.  This was so much better than I thought it would be.  I look forward to future me reading this again and hopefully getting more out of the story.
