This is such a romantic story. I couldn’t get over the beauty with the letters that they wrote each other. They wrote to each other in very creative ways as well. I do think it may have been a little too smart for me like some of the plot went over my head and there’s no world building you’re just in the world right away. Otherwise this is a five star read for me because it’s so amazing. It’s such a short book and yet you feel so much for these two individuals fighting against time and circumstance. I loved it. I think everyone should read it.
