Thank you to Berkley Publishing for this eARC! In all the best ways, this gave me heavy You've Got Mail feelings and that mad me fall in love with it that much faster. I loved Josie being the dark and twisty cynical one and Ryan being the romance loving sincere one. I thought the reveal of their pen pal identities really satisfying and truly above all else their communication throughout was so refreshing and interesting to the story. Truly what a delight of  read.
