Such a sweet book, I loved Charlee and Oliver and the way they spoke to each other (in their letters and in real life) and I loved all the fall vibes. I can’t wait to go back and read the other 2 in the series!

I have never read anything by this author, but I will be looking out for other books they write in the future. I really enjoyed the story as well as the pacing of the story.

This book wasn’t for me and I’d encourage anyone reading this to read the 5 ⭐️ reviews from those who did love it.

I struggled with the miscommunication trope. As an over communicator who could literally not even go to bed without saying what I need to say; there’s no f-ong WAY I can buy in to a book where people go years of sleeps without addressing an issue. Too much disbelief for me to suspend.

The letters were sweet, and the attached articles were clever and heart warming… but I (once again) can’t seem to get the, 'we fell in love through letters' thing. It never works for me, and I should have known that going into this book.

The story was sweet, but ultimately didn’t deliver for me.

This book was absolutely adorable! It had all the romance I love, with the perfect setting and the most charming characters. An ideal read for cozy Fall or winter days! However, I'm so sad this wasn't a favourite. I loved the overall vibes but unfortunately, it lacked the flow necessary in a second chance romance.

Adorably sweet and cute, enjoy a lot the set up and how the story was developed. The characters are extremely relatable and interesting. Had fun reading it . Definitely will recommend

this book was cute.
it was super fast paced and cozy, genuinely perfect for this time of year.

i will say that i was more hooked in the beginning of the book with all their drama and reading their letters to one another. but once it was revealed what happened in the past i kind of lost interest because its just your typical miscommunication trope (which i don’t really like) and shocker after it’s revealed everything works out perfectly fine and there are no real issues which is just meh to me and makes the book lose some of the magic of this story. i feel like this book could have been really really good if things played out more realistic idk that’s just me.

as characters i loved all of them and how real they felt as people (although certain things oliver said gave me the ick lol)

This was such a fantastic book, the story really well fleshed out with characters that I want to be best friends with. And the setting!!! British Columbia sounds like the perfect place to set a romance book in, with an attractive yet shy male main character and feisty, brave woman to pair him with. I have had so much fun reading this, and it was equal parts sweet and spicy. Part of it was epistolary and despite not normally enjoying this style in books, I think it added a lot of depth and background to the story of Charlee and Oliver. This was my first book by Elodie Colliard but will not be the last!

this is such a cozy, perfect romance read!!!! i couldn't put it down!!! so sweet and easy to follow. def recommend!!!!

I loved the overall theme and plot of the book but for me the writing didn’t flow as much as I wish it did - I could myself getting bored and having to re-read some parts.

Thank you netgalley for the arc!!

This one took me so long to read though. When I picked this one up I just wasn’t in the mood for it afterwards. There was a span of not a lot of reading being done and I didn’t get to do a lot, but once I got into this one it became better. The letter were a really cute ideas between our protagonists and the second chance romance feel was great. This was my first book by the author and I would definitely read more by her. There was a lot of character growth and we see Oliver fall more in love with Charlee and I loved it!

4/5⭐️

This was cute!!! Second chance, small town. I didn’t know it was book 3 so I will be reading the first two soon!!!

Unbearably Yours was a beautifully written addition to the It's Always Been You series, and even though it’s the third book, I didn’t feel lost jumping in here. Elodie Collard creates a heartfelt slow-burn romance set against the cozy charm of a small town and the thrill of the wild rainforest. The story follows Oliver and Charlee, two journalists from Toronto who have been unknowingly pen pals for years. As they travel to Vancouver’s rainforest for a high-stakes assignment, they’re drawn together not only by their shared professional goals but also by the unbreakable connection from their letters.

I enjoyed watching how the pen pal letters from the past weave seamlessly into their present, adding depth to their relationship. The dual POV lets you see both Oliver’s struggle with his family’s expectations and Charlee’s determination to save her job and the Toronto office. Their journey is filled with mutual support, chosen family moments, and a subtle chemistry that fits well with fans of slow-burn romance.

If you love small-town romance, forced proximity, and a hint of spice, Unbearably Yours is a cozy read to try. The book has a lovely blend of romance, self-discovery, and a strong focus on character growth, making it a solid 3-star read.

Thank you for the advanced copy!

I skimmed a good portion of this just to get to the end. The miscommunication was just so bad and didn’t really play out in a good satisfying way.

This was a very cute Hallmark Romance!
It was very fast paced and cutsie 🥰🥰 perfect autumn 🍂 vibes!

Canada. Autumn. Fluff.

A really good romance book, which I did enjoyed but I was a bit saddened by the ghosting and miscommunication. Overall it was fluffy and I did finished it.

The vibes were immaculate (perfect for the cozy season) and the writing style made getting lost in the story very easy. Overall the tone of this story was very gentle ~ however it got a little bit predictable at the end. The dual timeline was amazing and showcased the characters' growth and made it so much more easier to understand the feelings between them.

Both of the main leads were trying to fit into their own worlds before coming together and I loved that. They were as gentle as the overall tone of the story, respected each others boundaries and slowly came together. I couldn't really connect with either of them, which is a little sad and their story included one of my least favorite tropes ~ but that's totally on me.

This was unexpected and I loved it. The weaving of the letters they wrote in college with present day was really good. They really are soulmates and I love them.

I received an arc through netgalley.

I adored this book! The way it’s written makes it hard to put down. A beautiful second chance romance, perfect for fall.

Charlee and Oliver are very lovable main characters and Oliver has definitely made on the list of book boyfriends!

I cannot wait to read more from this author.

Definitely my favorite from It’s Always Been You series.

Back in 2017, Charlee and Oliver were pen pals. They were paired for a journalist program and exchanged articles through letters. As time went on, they became more comfortable with each other. They unexpectedly reunited in real life in a documentary program five years after their last correspondence. Even so, the unexpected encounter brings back memories of their painful past and various unresolved emotions.

I always love the fun writing style that Elodie has. It always makes reading her books a lot more enjoyable. Despite being fast-paced, it doesn't feel rushed. The nature setting is my favorite aspect of this book. Exploring the forest, observing wildlife, and camping are among their activities. The mild adult scenes compared to the other two books is also one thing I like. It's not too spicy. Haha.

If you're looking for a warm romance story about second chances that includes letters, nature, bears, camping, and cozy fall vibes, this book is for you!

This book was so cute! It was a full romance with everything I enjoy. The perfect setting and charming characters! A perfect Fall or winter read!
