The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen
4.75
I enjoyed almost every single thing about this. It’s You’ve Got Mail but with demigods and fantastical elements and great commentary on grief while living life to its fullest. It literally followed scenes from You’ve Got Mail word-for-word sometimes, the first few times it was almost creepy that I knew the next line before I realized what was happening. My one complaint is that it strayed from You’ve Got Mail just in time for Mercy to be upset at Hart for the third act breakup. I get it, but as a You’ve Got Mail fanatic, one of my favorite parts is when Kathleen’s only response to finding out the truth is “I wanted it to be you.” To give me so much faithful following only to rip it away right then felt like a personal attack and unfortunately sits as my single regret in the reading experience.
