For fans of “You’ve Got Mail” and of Talia Hibbert’s quirky writing style.  

This lighthearted, sweet romance gave all feet kicking vibes in the world. I loved this so much. I really enjoyed reading this cute and simple romance that made me rewatch the Tom Hank’s and Meg Ryan’s “You’ve Got Mail”. In fact, I think this book did way better than the movie. I wish this were a rom com in movie format. 

I felt the chemistry through the emails and I loved how that gradually grew into love. I will admit this dragged in the middle for me but at the end, I couldn’t resist the heartwarming elements of this book. 

I would say this is cozy and cute and gave flutters at their cute romance. The MMC could have been less annoying is just one complaint of mine! It didn’t take away from the book but just a small critique of mine. I really hate when MMC’s in general think they don’t deserve love then pursue love. It just gives f*ck boy vibes but in this case despite the circumstances was done well. I felt the fairytale vibes of falling in love with your favorite author.
