We Are Still Tornadoes by Susan Mullen, Michael Kun
4.0
What a wonderful story of friendship!
Even though the ending gives little subtle things of what happens between Cath and Scott and felt quite rushed, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel set in the 80s. I have read few books written in exchanging-letter/email format or in just letter format.
Some I do enjoy like Roomies by Sara Zarr and Tara Alterbrando and The Perks of Being A Wallflower and some I don't like Love, Rosie and Love Letters to the Dead (so I did't continue reading them). We Are Still Tornadoes goes to the I-do-enjoy section, obviously.
We Are Still Tornadoes is a genuine, emotionally-driven coming-of-age story of Cath and Scott. In this novel, these two update each other about their lives through letters. Even it's about family, boyfriend/girlfriend, goals in life and other mundane things, they are open to each other and I liked it how I felt about it.
Actually, the two are #friendshipgoals. They maybe argue or fight with their letters because of misunderstanding but they smoothed it out eventually and accept their faults or apologize for it. Really, reading their letters is so compelling and fun. And I can't deny how blatant their emotions in their letter, I love it.
I can't recommend enough this beautiful novel even without those actual tornadoes.
