Divine Rivals

How I yearn to experience love as pure as this.

I've often contemplated this loneliness of mine. Books have been an escape and now my broken self finds solace in stories like this. It is a painful solace that it brings but the closest thing to a peace of mind that I can realistically hope for.

Divine Rivals checks all the right boxes. It is beautifully written and even my most desperate attempts to find something not-so-great fail to find anything but a few very minor things. The book's premise - two people exchanging letters while one is unaware who the other is - is open to so many terrible clichés but none are here. It is used well. I can honestly say that it is very much believable.

The entire love story, from the start to the end, it is believable. Devoid of context it may seem as two teenagers rushing into things but there's a war, there is little time, there are tragedies all around. Love is found everywhere, even in the trenches.

I also have to bring up, again, the writing. The book is infinitely readable. Forty-two chapters and an epilogue allow for the whole story to flow so beautifully. When I had the time and energy to actually sit down and read, I'd struggle to put it down.
