Letters to Zell by Camille Griep
5.0
This is one of the few books I've read in quite awhile that has had me still thinking about the book and the issues raised in it every time I had to put it down and now still after I've finished it. The story is of imperfect women and their imperfect princes trying to find that happily ever after they were promised... even though now they're not so sure that's what they want anymore. Modern issues about love, expectations, and growing up all weave together for an ending that is both heart breaking and hopeful.
Initially I didn't love the letter format, especially not getting to see Zell's responses. But by the 2nd or 3rd chapter it was no longer an annoying device. You could feel Zell's absence in her friends' lives and I kind of liked getting 2-3 perspectives on the same events. And at the end, the letter format is the perfect answer.
