I hope you are wanting to be in the mood for f**ks here and f**ks there cuz f**kers are everywhere in the book. Completely was unnecessary and I was uninterested. DNF
I regret having read some of the reviews before reading this book as it spoiled part of the story, and most likely affected my enjoyment of it.
The story has a kind of “you've got mail” vibe with an original twist. The characters were interesting and I have enjoyed Sarah Lotz writing style. However, I felt the story dragged on for too long and, although I've started the book invested on the characters outcome, at ¾ of it I only wanted it to end.
I wanted to rate this book higher but it really didn't work for me.
I recommend this book if you enjoy romance and sci-fi and you don't mind not getting too deep in any of these genres.
Interesting, propulsive plot that went off the rails in the last 25%. Hard to root for the MCs because they engage in some pretty manipulative and deceptive behavior to get what they want. I love epistolary novels (this one is about 50% emails) but that wasn't enough to make up for the character issues. For readers looking for a HEA romance, be warned that the ending is ambiguous and open to interpretation.
