4.0

I appreciated the portrayal of Jacob's anxiety, and loved how Briana naturally responded to it. I didn't love seeing Jacob sometimes get steamrolled by his family - yes they were loving, but also overbearing. I also honestly don't understand why everyone was so up in arms about his ex getting together with his brother, when she and Jacob had clearly not been a good match. 

I had some issues with the pacing and struggled with keeping track of the passage of time. I wish the letters had been dated, or there had been other clear markers between events. Questionable decisions and lack of communication aside, I was won over by the characters' chemistry and care for each other.
