The postman's loneliness was relatable and palpable. I enjoyed the book very much. I thought it started slow but I was engrossed by the end. I don't know that everyone will love this book, but I did.

This book was one of those books that I received from Netgalley and I am trying to read through my list in 2019. I won't accomplish it, but want to make a dent.

A very quirky book that made me raise an eyebrow a few times. A postman with no friends and a secluded life decides to snoop in the mail that he is to deliver and ends up caught in the middle of a bit of drama due to the mail. He ends up pen paling with someone and when they want to meet him he has to make a decision.

This one was just ok. With 128 pages, it was easy to finish it and if it had been longer it may have been one of the few that I put down and DNFed. I didn't fall in love with this quirky postman and the book rests solely on his shoulders, if you can't enjoy him then you can't get into this book. I like the idea of the plot, but I just couldn't get pulled in by this character.
