The description of this book really makes you think you are in for a fun meet-cute type of romance, with some mysteries of missing mail interspersed. The reality of this book is that it is about a man who works at the Dead Letter Office who is having marital problems. He finds a few letters at work that make him think that the writer may be his real true love, which adds further complexity to his failing marriage. I found myself skimming through a lot of the "deep thoughts" parts of the book because it wasn't advancing the plot in any way. Overall, it was an okay book, but definitely not what I signed on for based on the description.

I received an advances copy from #netgalley in exchange for an honest opinion.

This book was a really interesting concept. I mean who hasn't experienced a lost piece of mail and wondering what those letters would have entailed. I really enjoyed getting to know William and was rooting for him. A light read that you will enjoy!
3.5

I am a bit torn on how I feel about this book. While it was written extremely well and kept my interest throughout, I feel a bit deceived by it. I thought I was going to be reading about the lost letter section of the mail and the book was more about a marriage strained by couple's natural progression of changing as people as time goes on and moving apart from their "old" selves that were so much in "like" and love. The story began as I thought it would, dealing with lost letters and sometimes finding the intended recipient. This part of the story I truly enjoyed and wanted more to come.

Unfortunately what followed was almost totally about the marriage in turmoil. The story extended into other people during this time, but the core was the two people in the marriage trying to find a way back together, or a way to live on apart.

Due to the change in course of the story, in my opinion, veering off the initial storyline, I am giiving the book 3 stars. Truly, if I knew the story was about a marriage in trouble, I would not have read this book. That is just not something I care to read.
