Meet Me at the Museum by Anne Youngson
4.0
When Tina writes a letter to a professor, she does not expect a reply. And when Anders replies to Tina, he does not expect her to write again. But a long correspondence does develop and, as they share their despair, happiness, and dreams with each other, a deep friendship grows.
My only “complaint” with this book is the mention in the blurb that “Tina’s letters suddenly cease.” Um, they didn’t cease until near the end of the book … like the very end. It is a pointless addition to the blurb because the story is really about Tina and Ander’s developing friendship and self-growth.
The story packs a gentle punch. The letters are beautifully written and made me long for the days when the only means of correspondence was a pen, paper, and stamp.
