Story Blurb
Naomi and Luca have been pen-pals since fifth-grade. Well, more like bitter rivals caught in an epic battle of insults and verbal jousting...
But what starts as a hilarious chain of hate filled letters, slowly develops into a friendship spanning coasts and years. That is until one day, years later, when the letters suddenly stop.
It's been two years since Naomi last heard from Luca. Two years since the letter that changed everything.
But when a new envelope turns up out of the blue at her desk at the local news station, Naomi is determined not to let Luca have the final word.
My Thoughts/Opinion
What a fun enemies (from 5th grade!!) to lovers rom-com. Both Naomi and Luca are hilarious though their humor hides tragic truths. I really liked this book all the way up to about the 80% mark when I felt like the angst and drama was really overdone. As a reader, I got impatient with their never-ending 3rd act breakup. I struggled to understand why they couldn't just talk about the issues, so the last part of the book dragged for me. Other than that, I was a good, fun, well-written read.
Favorite Quote:
“I fell so hard for you that I couldn’t even enjoy anyone else’s company, because I had already decided that you were the one. I tried to tell myself that I was holding you up on a pedestal, that you couldn’t be as funny, or beautiful, or amazing as I imagined you were. Before I came to Miami, I had convinced myself that I was wrong for thinking I could be in love with someone I had never met. And then I met you in person, and it turns out I was right. Everything that I thought I felt was real. I fell in love with you all over again.”
