This was cuuute. I love how individualistic Tiffy is! She's not of average appearance, but she doesn't it affect what she can wear and act like. She's not the definition of "conventionally" attractive, as Leon's girlfriend so viciously remarks upon, but Leon is absolutely enraptured by her looks & beauty. I love it!

It's also solid epistolary literature. The way the chapters transition from one of their notes/letters to a relevant scene is awesome. It feels so natural.

I appreciate that the book covers more than just their romance, too. I like the prison subplot, how it shows what people might be like when justice fails and truth is suppressed. And the look into publishing, and hospice even moreso, is interesting.

I didn't give a full 5 because I prefer having an up-close-and-personal look into characters, but this felt a bit bird's-eye at times.

I give both Carrie Hope Fletcher and Kwaku Fortune 4.5/5⭐️'s. And the only reason they're not higher is probably (unfortunately) not thier fault. The production left in a lot of mouth sounds. The tracks should have been edited better.

I think if I’d known the first half of this book is REALLY sad and not the rom com I’d hoped for I wouldn’t have picked up this book. The second half is good and fun but I’m not sure it was worth the heartbreak to get there for me.
