General Description:
When Callum attempts to email a teacher, he accidentally emails T. Over 10 years, they email each other happy valentines day. They begin to develop a relationship via email, but it never seems like it's the right time. However, when the timing seems to align, T (Terra) begins to have a relationship with her TA. Who will Terra choose in the end?
The goods:
- I loved the email exchanges, they were extremely cute.
- The entire concept that spans years is a trope I love to see.
- The puzzle pieces falling together at the end was extremely satisfying
- the use of social media was not overbearing and I think a touch that will stay relevant instead of being cringy
The loss of a star:
- I feel like there was an attempt to add some spicier scenes and for me, with these novella books, it just felt out of place and took away from the overall story. I just feel it was already a short story and trying to add a spicier scene made it feel even shorter.
overall, if you're looking for something quick to get into a romance reading book, this fits the bill!
