💬 “Do you ever have a feeling about someone? Like they’re your safe space and, I don’t know, like someday it could be more?” 

 

 

📖Synopsis: One typo, and a boy and girl connect by chance. Wishing each other a happy Valentine’s Day isn’t the end. In fact, it becomes a friendly annual tradition—with rules: no pics, no real names, nothing too personal. As years pass, the rules for their email “dates” are breaking, and they’re sharing more than they imagined—including the urge to ask…what if we actually met? (Synopsis provided from Amazon) 

 

 

🖋️Review: OH MY GOSH! I loved this novella! It hit all the right places, there was multi-media, fun and relatable characters, a huge whoopsie, and a charming conclusion. I loved that the first 50% of this book was all in e-mail format, then as the characters aged, we got to see them in real-time, but then there were still some e-mails scattered throughout. I cannot explain how much I loved this story, I giggled the whole way through!
