Hate Mail by Donna Marchetti

4.0

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins UK for the early ARC of this book.
This book was so fun. Within the first 15 pages, I was laughing out loud. The banter between the two main characters is hilarious. Naomi and Luca are 5th grade pen pals. Naomi is assigned Luca and writes him a nice, gentle letter as most 5th graders would. Luca has a less than enthusiastic response. This catapults a series of mean letters being sent back and forth over the course of 20 years. One trying to top the other. What starts out as an enemy situation eventually becomes one of comfort.
Luca finds stability in writing Naomi. Naomi finds an unlikely friendship that she longs for when she thinks she may have lost it.
This book is surprisingly sexy with pent up tension. I loved that the characters had out of the norm careers. Although this book was predictable, it was a very enjoyable read. The conflict at the end goes back and forth for a bit too long and the MMC makes some questionable choices along the way. I would highly recommend for fans of love letters.
