Because you deserve your fairy-tale ending. And because I’d do anything for you, Gracie Cooper. Even if it means letting you go.”
This book was everything I needed right now. After binge reading thrillers my heart was yearning for the heartwarming romances, the fluff, the butterflies and this book delivered. It's such a feel good romance and easy to read in a single sitting. The moments between the characters had me swooning, featuring one of my favourite tropes- online friends who don't know their real identity and falling for each other, but in reality they do not want to see each other's face. Th supremacy of this trope I tell you ...more

This book was just so precious. I love books with letters/emails/penpals and this book just blew me away. We come across Ruby Santos who gets paired up with Aaron, who's a soldier currently deployed. As letters and emails are exchanged, a beautiful friendship is forged on the verge of blossoming into something so much more.
Ruby was such a cute and relatable character. She is a hopeless romantic but a certain event has left her heart broken and her self esteem took a hit after that. But with Aaron she realized that love is not supposed to make her feel like that but rather liberating and complete. With Aaron she could be who she was without shying away, without hiding parts of herself that made her simply her,Ruby. I loved seeing her try to be a little brave everyday. She is a softie and kind and kind of wants to make everyone happy, even if at times that was not the best thing for her. So I loved to see her grow out of that and do what was best for her.
“Mostly though, Rubes, I want to go back in time and beat every single person’s ass who’s ever made you doubt yourself, because the girl who makes me smile ‘til my face hurts even on a shit day needs to see that in herself. I feel like I owe it to you.” Aaron” ― Mariana Zapata, Dear Aaron
I loved Aaron and how kind and open he was with Ruby all along. I loved their interactions and his little gestures towards Ruby. Their emails and letters were the highlight for me. The first half of the book was in the form of letters and I loved it. They were super cute and funny and yet at times very deep talking about their feelings and what was going on in their mind. There's something liberating always talking to someone through letter, just letting your emotions flow through without holding anything back. And this book just showed that....more
