Friends have been telling me to read this book for the past few years and I *finally* listened lol. I have friends who know me well because I absolutely loved it! I loved Henry and Alex's relationship, it was so sweet, sexy, but also incredibly heart-wrenching. It simultaneously feels so pertinent but also so hopeful (especially given the alternate-reality setting of Alex's mom being the first female President). I laughed. I sobbed. And I had the hardest time putting this book down.

I was sceptical about this book. But it is absolutly worth it. The chemistry was soo good. I loved how they send real peoples love letters to eachother. All the background characters were so interesting and well written. Fell in love with the world they wrote.
