Love to see more diverse YA (especially younger-slanted YA) with multiply marginalized disabled characters! This one wasn’t my favorite, had some plot issues that grated me as an older reader, but I liked Joy and Nathaniel as characters.

First of all, this book has been on my TBR since it was announced to be released and I'm glad I can finally read it! I love how sweet this story is. And the process of everyone's coming out isn't rushed.
Love Letters For Joy is really a sweet and cute story after all.

Knowing the MC is panromantic asexual, it's really a new term for me to deep dive and of course... I'd love to see more disabled characters. And Joy is a perfect example from cerebral palsy instead. To let you know, this book is perfect!

5⭐ rating wothy! Thanks, Melissa.. and to let you know... I love Noah and Daisy from You, Me, and Our Heartstrings made a cameo in this book as a fellow cerebral palsy to Joy. Thanks a bunch!

This was a cute, light-hearted and diverse YA read! It features an asexual MC with a disability and a pansexual MC with a disability. I'm always on the hunt for asexual rep, and this book fits that mark!

The primary antagonists for both MCs felt a little simple. They didn't have a lot of layers going on, and I feel that they could have been better explored with the background presented. We could have gotten these antagonists that felt a little less stereotypical.

The arc with Cupid also felt a little tough to believe. You know this person is someone you go to school with and you just...share a bunch of personal stuff with them without questioning it? Confessing your love to someone you've exchanged a handful of emails with and you don't know anything personal about? It just feels hard to suspend disbelief with that kind of plot personally.
