Letters to Zell by Camille Griep
4.0
3.5 stars. It was thoroughly entertaining (clearly a theme in all the boom reviews I take time to write), and a clever format. I've got mixed feelings on books written entirely with letters, but I think this one works well. It's not supposed to be the next best fiction book, and it's not. But it's clever, entertaining, and I really did grow attached to the characters. So much so that I almost cried at the end.
I do wish there had been more character development for the recipient of the letters, Zell or Rapunzel. I didn't really understand her character at all until the very end, where you get a glimpse of what she might be feeling. I wouldn't mind a sequel from her perspective! But part of the reason you don't get much from her perspective in this book is that the characters really can be selfish and self absorbed. But that's all part of the lessons learned.
