4.0

This was almost a DNF for me, books with no/limited chapters are a drag. Additionally that first "chapter" was rough. I found Sally to be unfunny and petty. However, once the emails started flowing back and forth between Sally and Noah I was hooked. Noah's character was so refreshing in this genre, however, I still remain unsold on Sally (and maybe that's the point). 

This book does talk extensively about COVID and although it's been 3 years, it still felt so raw and yet nostalgic. 

Overall, a fantastic read. I think the first "chapter" could have been tightened up a bit and that the addition of chapters could have really developed Noah and Sally's relationship more but it was still great.
