The Letters We Keep by Nisha Sharma
emotional
fast-paced
The blurb made this sound like such a cute romance, tied in with a really emotional story of two teens who disappeared many years ago which should have made this story stronger. But I felt that the story was poorly written, and it almost felt like the author didn't care too much about the lost lovers in the end.
There's an odd, almost juvenile feeling to the writing style of this, the immediate enemies meet cute where they fight over a study room, the way Ravi struggled with his peers felt like high school drama he should have left behind. So I was pretty thrown when we got to the pretty descriptive, open door sex scenes, I'm not gonna lie.
While we did finally get answers between all of Ravi and Jessi's annoying and unnecessary angst, I didn't find them satsfactory, especially as they were wedged into a few rushed last chapters. I didn't cheer them on as a couple, because I found them to be incredibly immature and I couldn't really see them as a couple in the future.
