What the actual fuck.
Interesting idea, but lots of content just for shock value. Happens so quickly that it's hard to believe the relationship that the characters formed. The writing style also feels off sometimes - it's supposed to be "actual" emails written between the characters but often reads in style, voice, and format like a regular novel. Very strange and didn't make sense in the context of what the story was supposed to be portraying.
