SIGH.. I really wanted to love this. Sadly, another major disappoint for this year's reads is one of my most anticipated books again. Instead of a ‘letter’, it felt more like a personal journal of the author full of scribbles that are sooo all over the place with very little plot. It was written with too much imagery that are too beautiful that the storyline appeared almost like nothing against it. Plain, common, unengaging.
