Review

     Wow! I really didn’t expect that ending! And man, did it make me want to cry. Anyone that knows me will confirm that I love happy ever afters. But after reading this book, I’ve come to realize that the characters’ growth may matter more than an ending where the couple walking into the sunset hand in hand.

     This book also made me realize the power of words. A lot of the book consists of a compilation of correspondences between Jack and the pen pal that he accidentally acquired. The author did a great job of conveying personality through the letters. As a reader, I could understand why the couple fell for one another. By the end of the book, I felt like I knew Jack and Emma. When the mystery was revealed, I wanted to smack myself for not reading between the lines of Emma’s letters. She was both honest and vague at the same time. It was also heartwarming to realize that Emma’s love made Jack a better person. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a clean historical romance with sophisticating pros and a bittersweet ending.
