DNFing this book @40% coz I can't read it anymore😭Ngl, I loved the first 20% that I read - it was so funny and witty, I was grinning and smiling all the time. The exchanges between the protagonists were so sweet and I was super invested in the plot. But after some time, I was just skimming through the dragged conversations.Even though I loved the conversation style initially, it became boring pretty fast. There was just so much unnecessary information and the pages-long paragraphs...omg😓 Plus, who interacts through emails in this century? It felt really out of touch...Also, what's up with all the PS, PPS, and PPPPSSS??😩Moreover, there is a love triangle which I don't like but there was no chemistry in any of the couples. For some time, I was captivated by Izzy-Brodie's interactions and couldn't stop laughing when Izzy wrote long-ass paragraphs telling about her life events to Brodie, a stranger😂 but it too became repetitive.I couldn't connect with any character but liked Izzy's personality a bit coz she stood up to Josephine every time she tried to belittle her - be it about Izzy's looks, habits and whatnot, Josephine was so nosy and obnoxious that I wanted to hit her. Izzy was strong and a little mess with cheerful vibes, which I liked about her.Brodie gave me such calm and collected vibes in all the parts I read of him but even his impact started becoming dull after some time. I have no idea about Eli because I was not interested in his story at all. Out of all the side characters, Luke is the best😌It's not that I have not read any epistolary novels before, I have! and love the writing style but it didn't work in this one. This is a miss for me and I'm super disappointed😔 because I had high hopes. But many people have loved it, so do give it a try. Maybe, you'll like it too!...or maybe I'll pick it up again someday but for now, dnf-ing it.Thanks to Pepper Basham, Thomas Nelson--FICTION and NetGalley for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review. This book will be published on 15th Nov'22.P.S.😉: I'm sure Pepper Basham is an incredible author and I'll read her other works but this one didn't work for me. I'm giving 2 stars✨ for the starting part that I enjoyed to the fullest.
