I am quite conflicted about how I feel about this book. That characters felt very flat and dull, and they didn’t have any real emotional connection. The bullying culture made the book worse, and Ryen just felt superficial, meanwhile Misha just seemed annoying. The letters and friendship aspect was interesting, but I also didn’t like that they got together - it would have been better if they were platonic. Interesting read, but not my taste.
