The concept was neat, but the writing style was not my cup of tea. Flowery prose can be nice but when most of the novel consists of ooey gooey love letters it becomes a bit tiresome and repetitive to read. I would have liked the writing styles between the two main characters to be more distinct from each other to make the letter-chapter-letter-chapter format feel less repetitive.
Despite the story being quite short and very little happening plot-wise, it began to feel like I had to slog through a lot of unnecessary descriptive language to get to any real character development or plot points!
I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did... Maurice makes for such an fascinating protagonist, flaws and all
