Naomi has been writing hate mail to her penpal Luca since 5th grade. But when he ghosts her for 2 years then starts sending her letters again, she's determined to find him. Naomi and her friend Anne try to piece together clues from their letters as to where he could he.

I think this was a cute idea but it just wasn't executed well. Naomi begins looking for Luca while also going on dates with Jake, the guy from her building. All of the characters are very surface level and I had a hard time getting invested in the story because of this.

I didn't like the nickname "husky eyes" for Jake and thought it was very forced. Anne calling Naomi "Gnome" all the time was also annoging.

It was strange that they were flying all over the place to try and find Luca when he was still writing to her. Especially when he tells her he'll give her his address in the next letter?

The scene where they eat take out in the hallway because her apartment was messy was odd to say the least.

Luca being so passive in his own life that he let's some girl tell him he's engaged and he's just like sure?? Absolutely ridiculous. This book kept dragging on and on
