Dear Aaron

This has to be my least favorite book by one of my favorite authors. It had more to do with the letter writing and Ruby's character than anything else. I wouldn't have minded the email/letter writing format if it was less friendly and more romantic. I know that friendship can lead to falling in love with someone but I didn't see any gradual increase in romantic interest between Aaron and Ruby. They seemed for the most part just really supportive friends. It was obvious when Aaron started falling for Ruby but it was only because the obvious pauses here and there in his texting hinted that he was feeling some type of way.

Ruby's character was a lot more immature than I thought she would be because she has had more experience with men than I have but her anxiety around them was a lot more pronounced than I would expect. Granted I can definitely empathize with her when it comes to being anxious about being in a new environment and social situation but I guess I was expecting her to be more level-headed like other characters the author has written about. My problem with Ruby is more subjective and if you see it coming then I don't think you'll share my opinion so I just wanted to post about it here for anyone who wants to go in with their eyes open.
