This was such a cute and quick YA romance listen. I loved the premise of it because it felt very 90s, in a way. In a world that is so technologically driven, I appreciate the fact that people were handwriting letters and dropping them off in a mysterious locker. I also felt that the conflicts in this book were not only age appropriate but also entirely reasonable - unlike so many other YA books, the characters were average teens and reacted as such. I loved the secondary plot point of Darcy learning to express her fears (not having her sexuality taking seriously if she dates men) and realizing that, ultimately, others' opinions of her don't matter as much as her opinion of herself.
