Katrina G | 4552 comments Ruby Santos knew exactly what she was getting herself into when she signed up to write a soldier overseas.

The guidelines were simple: one letter or email a week for the length of his or her deployment. Care packages were optional.

Been there, done that. She thought she knew what to expect.

What she didn’t count on was falling in love with the guy.

The writing style is very different from Zapata's normal writing style. I don't dislike the style but it isn't my favourite. I really like both the characters but because of the writing style i feel like you don't get to know as much as you'd like about them. So far though i'm enjoying the book.

The book is starting to pick up a bit more. I wasn't getting bored before this I just wasn't loving it as much as i thought i would. It was getting kind of repetitive with the messaging. But now I can't wait until they meet!!!!!

Both the characters are a lot different in person. I'm hoping i get to see the banter between them again because right now they are both nervous with each other (more so Ruby) , I'll just have to wait and see.

Katrina G | 4552 comments Sorry I’m a bit behind on some other buddies. Hoping to start this soon.

No worries :)

I'm used to Zapata's books being slow but this one is just a LOT slower than usual. Ruby is becoming so repetitive with the whole "he only sees me as a little sister", i just need something to happen

I really enjoyed this book, some things not so much but overall i really liked it. The epilogue was (in my opinion) rubbish, she might as well have not included it. Apart from that the ending was really good

Katrina G | 4552 comments I'm sorry to do it, but I just know I'm not going to enjoy this, and I don't want to force myself to read 500 pages of something that I'm just going to end up 1 starring. I'm DNFing :(

i don't blame you, i does pick up when they meet but it isn't one of Mariana's best.

Katrina G | 4552 comments Yeah a lot of other reviews were saying the same thing. It's my first book from her, so I'm willing to give her another shot since even people who love her weren't a fan of this
