An Inconvenient Letter

4/5

I enjoyed it very much. Etta is well-written and while I have never written any letters to my crush, I read about my feelings for someone else in a letter to my friend - a letter that my own mother read, so you can only imagine my embarrassment. So I can perfectly well sympathize with Etta regarding her letter to Freddie - if I were in her situation, I would do anything to retrieve the letter - including fake dating his cousin (or a friend).

Gerard was such a good character, he immediately became my book boyfriend. I loved his passion and ambition and I loved his friendship with Etta and Anne. He really thought that he had never had any feelings for Etta, but every time he talked about her and remembered their childhood, it was Etta he spoke of and how much he admired her. Every single time. It took some time for him to finally realize the truth, but when he finally did, he was all in.

The necklace was beautiful but the letter?? At the end?? I'm swooning, it was so cute and amazing, if anyone wrote to me something like that I would agree to marriage as well. He deserves it.

My favourite line: “You are the song of my soul, Etta. I will love you to my last breath. I will love you forever.”

I enjoyed the book and I was honored to be able to read it. Thank you, NetGalley and Shadow Mountain Publishing for sending me the ARC. All opinions are my own.
