I was pleasantly surprised by this fun, quick read. I haven't seen the concept of long-time penpals used in any romance novels I've read, so using that as the foundation for the plot was refreshing and felt very modern despite using snail-mail. The male main character is actually described in a very wholesome way, which was a pleasant break from some of the straight-up problematic male main characters that have been in popular rom-coms lately. The plot twist was still a tad predictable but seemed well-done in that it took me almost to the twist actually happening to have figured out all the details.
