I know one shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but the artwork of "Unbearably Yours" immediately appealed to me. Charlee and Oliver's story is summed up so well in the cover art. It's the satisfied feeling you get once you've been on a journey and you've pushed through to reach the final destination. You get to relax and rest knowing that it was all worth it.

The dual timeline of present day Charlee and Oliver, contrasted against the letters they exchanged, added a lot of depth to the story as well as driving the narrative forward in a compelling way. The representation of hypersensitivity was also something I haven't come across in a novel like this and it was dealt with such care. I also loved the inclusion of a playlist of songs for each chapter. I will definitely be reading the first two books in this series. 

Thank you to Netgalley and Victory Editing for access to an ARC of "Unbearably Yours"
