It is hard to rate a series of letters that are more or less one sided because Scott kept everything and Zelda's letters from Scott were burned. It is heartbreaking to read them, while at the same time it is proof that they did care for each other until Scott's untimely death. Moments of literary brilliance, moments of tears and moments of the ordinary moments from two extraordinary people.

4.5/5.

Finally started and finished reading the The Scarlet Letter. I do not know how many attempts to start this book in my life, but it was close to 10. On Goodreads I gave it 2 out of 5 stars, which according to their tier is "it was ok." It was okay, and I am grateful for never having to read it in HS (thank you, Honors). The story line was fine, it was the prose that drove me crazy and I was not able to focus. I skipped the Introductory chapter by Hawthorne.
