A review by mizzmarie
Hate Mail by Donna Marchetti
3.0
Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book.
I will start off by saying when I read the description of this book I was sold it sounded so fun and cute I had really high hopes and while I know this book will be amazing for some it fell a little flat for me. I am giving it 3 stars cause I did finish it and the last 25% was decent. The book felt too forcefully juvenile to me the letters they wrote in 5th grade were cringing and came across as an adult trying to act childish rather than authentically young. and the repetitiveness of them throughout the story got old quickly. I did enjoy our main character and found I preferred Luca's chapters a little more only because Naomi's chapter mainly included Anne and she was annoying and not likable.
over all I know some people will adore this book and while I did finish it it was not my favorite.
