Words do matter. They're not pointless. If they were pointless then they couldn't start revolutions and they wouldn't change history and they wouldn't be the things that you think about every night before you go to sleep. If they were just words we wouldn't listen to songs, we wouldn't beg to be read to when we're kids. If they were just words, then they'd have no meaning and stories wouldn't have been around since before humans could write. We wouldn't have learnt to write. If they were just words then people wouldn't fall in love because of them, feel bad because of them, ache because of them, stop aching because of them, have sex, quite a lot of the time, because of them.
— For lovers of books and lovers of written words, this book is for you. A book about books where people leave letters to strangers, to lovers. Could've been a 5-star read but I had a few issues because of the love triangle fiasco.
I really wasn't sure whether I was going to love this book. The concept was great, but I had my doubts.
I was definitely W R O N G. I loved it. This book deals with grief, losing, love, friendship in such a good and beautiful way.
