Ya se ha acabado mi nueva obsesión...y no sé qué va a pasar después de leer este libro.
Necesitaba transportarme lejos de mi vida y este libro me ha dejado viajar hasta Oath con una maleta para máquina de escribir, enamorarme de nuevo del periodismo y vivir otra vida. Ojalá esa vida durara más.
Sé que este libro no es perfecto, pero ha sido mi oportunidad para dejar de ser yo por las noches y pensar que había cartas llenas de amor que viajaban entre armarios también para mi.
Pienso leer más cosas de Rebecca, por supuesto.

I did not want this to end. I needed more Iris and Roman. I needed more love letters full of longing and sweet words.
It is not a secret among those who love me that these past months have been a nightmare...and this book was my safe space during that time. The best moment of the day.
Probably it is not the perfect book, but it was the book I needed. I needed to scape to Oath, find myself in Iris and feel in love with journalism again (a career I studied but I could not find opportunities in the way I wanted). Old-fashion typewriters in hand, gathering stories, all mixed with magic.
Through Iris and Roman love story I had my heart pounding, wishing magic ley lines were real, waiting for the next letter.
I am a romantic, I am not going to lie. I wished for love letters of my own. But their love story serve me as a shelter for when stress and sadness was too much in my reality.
I also found that this story allowed me to find joy while also mirroring the desperation I was feeling in my real life. All mixed, all at the same time.
I wish I could explore Iris and Roman story further, as they have accompanied me in such hard times. It is hard to say goodbye.
