I really enjoyed this much more than I thought I was going to. Not real sure how much of the book was in the form of email etc., but I feel like at least half. That was the part I wasn't sure I was going to like but the author did a great job of revealing her protagonists strictly through these email exchanges. You really liked both of them. When they finally meet the story felt just as nice to me. You could tell the hero was pretty much all in and the heroine just had to see it. Bring on the next one. I listened to this for a book club discussion. I'm not really into romance, but this sounded interesting. It 'was' interesting. Very well written, very convincing, and somehow, I fell in love with both protagonists. I really had no idea how this would end, and for a while I was scared: after all, Aaron is deployed in a war zone. I won't tell you if any of what I was afraid of came true. Suffice it to say that I loved how the story and the main characters developed, and how the story unfolded. I was drawn in right from the start and found myself listening every free minute I had. The narrators did an awesome job. Having a female and a male narrator reading the emails of the respective protagonists worked out brilliantly. It made the whole story even more believable -- if that is possible. I can't comment on the accents because English is not my first language, but I had no problems to understand either of the narrators. I can recommend this to anyone who loves a good story. Wow, what a brave story to write. It is amazing. The perfect setting for a slow burn story. Ruby is writing to a soldier, Aaron as part of support program, sending emails/letters and possibly care packages. This setting allows the H/h to get to know each other before ever meeting, it is funny, sometimes quite heartbreaking and very well written. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Santos (1)
Ruby Santos knew exactly what she was getting herself into when she signed up to write a soldier overseas. The guidelines were simple: one letter or email a week for the length of his or her deployment. Care packages were optional. Been there, done that. She thought she knew what to expect. What she didn't count on was falling in love with the guy. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This story is basically about a girl named Ruby and a guy named Aaron who become pen pals. And that leads to love amazingly enough. The story was very annoying at first with the back and forth emails and IMs. But eventually you find yourself really getting immersed in their friendship. The closer they get, the more you feel like a fly on the wall, listening in to their conversation. Like I said, the audiobook is key for this story. It’s almost like watching a play.
Despite being annoyed by the email/IM format at the start, I actually enjoyed the story of how these two kids fall in love. Out of all the books I’ve read by this author, this is probably the slowest of slow burns. I mean, really, really slow burn. But in the end, it’s worth it. If you have patience, you’ll be rewarded.
