When I read the synopsis I knew it was a book I needed to read.
However, there were a number of things that made the story feel absurd, and boring to read, even though the pace was pretty fast.
My biggest complaint when reading books with sci-fi elements, like time travel, is the lack of logic they can have, and I understand that it's fiction, I can't ask for much, but god, everything felt out of place in this book, keep it in mind if you want to start it, as an advice: take this book as comedy.
I confess that reading this I even forgot the plot of Romeo and Juliet. When I read the synopsis I imagined it would be some kind of strategy to ensure the letters arrival and to prevent their death, but that never happens, the plot is not even close to that idea, I warn you.
I liked the romance, but everything happened very quickly and I stopped getting excited at some point. I think the "sad" parts were my favorites because they were more emotional.
Conclusion, I recommend to pass the time, but don't take it seriously or have high expectations.
