I Will Always Write Back: How One Letter Changed Two Lives by Martin Ganda, Caitlin Alifirenka

5.0

I couldn't put this book down! I was on the verge of tearing up (in a good way) almost the entire time. Part of it felt super relatable - the kids started writing to each other at age 12 in 1997. I was 15 in 1997 and so culturally and globally there were a lot of events and memories that were similar. From the misconceptions that had to be overcome, to the similarities and differences in their lives, this was a really interesting read on perspective, purpose, being grateful for what we have, and helping others. I loved that it was a true story - and the underlying story was about how both of their lives improved by knowing each other. Absolutely loved it!
