Genre: Contemporary romance, novella, fiction
My summary: Terra and Callum begin exchanging emails inadvertently while in high school and a tradition of emailing each other every year on Valentine’s Day begins. Without ever exchanging specifics, they unsuspectingly cross paths after ten years of emails.
My thoughts: Overall, it’s short and sweet and I got the warm and fuzzies. But, being that it’s a novella, almost half of it being an email exchange was annoying. The end redeemed it, but after reading about 10% initially, I gave up and read several books before returning to it and forcing myself through the email portion of it.
