This was both what I expected and what I didn’t expect… I loved that there are multiple characters you follow throughout, and they end up crossing paths. I love the idea of the letters to kick of the book being from the author but still part of the story, and then concluding in the way that they did. At first I had no idea the letter in the beginning was part of it, just a letter from the author to a friend. But it twigged at the end. Very clever! Highly recommend.
