I wanted to like this book. The premise was interesting and epistolary novels are a favorite genre of mine. However, the two main characters were insufferable. Contrary to the protestations of the characters, epic love shouldn’t be this difficult. It was enraging that Adin and Lilly didn’t just *communicate,* as they probably could have headed off many of their problems by simply expressing themselves with words.
As is discussed at a certain point in the book, Adin IS pathetic. Meanwhile, Lilly is fickle and standoffish.
It was uncomfortable and unenjoyable to experience this particular love story as a reader. While I can appreciate the care, time, and effort that went into this book, ultimately it was not for me.
Nonetheless, thank you to NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
