Unbearably Yours was a beautifully written addition to the It's Always Been You series, and even though it’s the third book, I didn’t feel lost jumping in here. Elodie Collard creates a heartfelt slow-burn romance set against the cozy charm of a small town and the thrill of the wild rainforest. The story follows Oliver and Charlee, two journalists from Toronto who have been unknowingly pen pals for years. As they travel to Vancouver’s rainforest for a high-stakes assignment, they’re drawn together not only by their shared professional goals but also by the unbreakable connection from their letters.

I enjoyed watching how the pen pal letters from the past weave seamlessly into their present, adding depth to their relationship. The dual POV lets you see both Oliver’s struggle with his family’s expectations and Charlee’s determination to save her job and the Toronto office. Their journey is filled with mutual support, chosen family moments, and a subtle chemistry that fits well with fans of slow-burn romance.

If you love small-town romance, forced proximity, and a hint of spice, Unbearably Yours is a cozy read to try. The book has a lovely blend of romance, self-discovery, and a strong focus on character growth, making it a solid 3-star read.
