This is basically the plot of You've Got Mail but the characters are teenagers with major issues that will probably take years of therapy for them to recover from.

This book was really hard for me to get into at first, and I thought for sure I would DNF. The characters had me rolling my eyes, and there is a lot of emotional baggage and backstory right from the get-go. But I am glad I kept going because it turns out this book is a lot more about the importance of friendship and emotional honesty in relation to mental health than it is about teenage romance. I really loved how the story resolved, including one major spoiler that I won't share.

So, if you like YA where characters are dealing with the heavier things of life (Perks of Being a Wallflower for example), this book might be a good fit for you.

One of my best friends recommended this series to me, and I might just send her a gift because this is definitely a favorite to me! Of course, I'm not very hard to please either, but I loved Declan and Juliet. In the beginning, I couldn't relate to either of them, and their rough exteriors made them hard to enjoy, but that's the thing with this book. Each of those rough exteriors come down chip by chip, letter by letter, and I fell in love with them, and their story.

I've also dug into Kemmerer's call it what you want. And no surprise, it is also brilliant. I can't wait to order More Than We Can Tell next week, and then read A Curse So Dark and Lonely.
