I need to take a moment to fully show my appreciation for this cover. It is stunning, adorable, and giving all the vibes for me.

The setting is in B.C Canada! A place where it's already bringing warmth to my heart imagining this couple, cuddling by the fire, roasting, marshmallows like HOW CUTE ????!!!!!

Charlie and Oliver are college penpals, to form a connection that obviously turns into something more, and then fall out of touch. Then… They have to work together!! Get ready for it!!

The characters have emotional depth, and I think they are just amazing.
It has the perfect amount of everything for it, being a cute and cozy, contemporary romance. Most of this book explores why they didn't work out the first time around, but takes up a huge portion of the story, miscommunication and angst at its finest. I didn't really mind this, but I would've love to see how they work on the relationship and rekindle with one another.

Again with the dual timelines that I’m not a huge fan of, but it works out for the purpose of the story so I can override my feelings of that one because I actually really liked how this worked out!

Overall, I am loving the vibes I got from this book! I am telling you, this is a must read! I loved this book, and can't wait for September 3 for the physical copy of it.

Hits pre-order!!




* Thank you to NetGalley for the arc!

unbearably yours was a cute, fluffy romance perfect for those cold and rainy autumn days. it had the laughs, the tragedies and the pining.

overall, I found this book really easy to read and I was hooked from the start and eager to learn what happened to charlee and oliver. it was so so enjoyable to watch their slow progress towards realising they needed each other.

plot ―୨୧⋆ ˚ I did enjoy the plot and it was perfect for a fluffy romcom with plenty of conflict to keep you on yours toes. Although, it felt a little bit underwhelming and by the end the resolution just felt like a bow that needed to be tied. this did take away from the charm of the story a bit. possibly with less conflict and less to tie up at the end this book may have flowed better.

charlee and Oliver ―୨୧⋆ ˚ despite the plot letting me down a bit the characters did not disappoint. Oliver was so sweet and sincere and unlike any of the MMC I've read this year which was such a breath of fresh air. I must admit Charee infuriated me in parts but I came to understand her viewpoint and the reasons behind her actions (although I didn't always understand them).

Overall, this missed in places for me and it definitely isn't my favourite read of the year but it was fluffy, cute and gave all the autumn vibes.

**ARC provided by the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**

I want to start this review by saying that I love the giftedness representation! We all know that representation is very much needed for everyone out there, and this is a very special community that is, unfortunately, not very seen.

I was pretty scared considering that this is a second-chance romance, which means that there was some kind of reason their relationship failed.

I really loved the connection they had. I think they complimented each other, and both of them have character development. Not only that, but I also liked them as characters, although I'll admit that Charlee's stubbornness annoyed me at times. She kept skipping steps and just jumping to conclusions instead of facing the truth.

But, overall, it was fun, cute, a little spicy, and even informative. Also, the small-town setting always delivers. I know that some of the characters in this book have their own story, and it made me curious about them. I think I want a copy of this book!
Also, I see room for more books about some other characters 👀. And let's just say I like what I see.

Wow. What a beautifully painful, stunningly written book about heartache and loss and the coming together of two people who never thought they would, told through old letters and a current storyline so breathtaking it feels almost magical. The scenery is wonderful, the side plots always funny, and the main characters so lovely.

Thank you to the author for the ARC of this book! Wow! I just loved it so incredibly much!! I love second chance romance and this was done so well! I devoured this one! The concept of the book reminded me a lot of You've Got Mail but with regular letters and who doesn't love a 90s chick flick throw back?

Charlee and Oliver are assigned as own pals for a college project. They never meet but fall in love through letters. They plan to meet but it doesn't go as planned and they are both devastated. Five years later they get assigned together as journalists for a nature documentary. While working together they forge a bond again and realize that all they had before is actually not lost. The letters are beautifully written and it was fun to read them interspersed with the present day storyline. Their connection is beautiful and I just loved their love story. I will immediately be going to read the rest of Elodie Colliard's books. Loved this one!!

I don’t even know where to begin with how much I love this book! The story just flowed so well together and I think Elodie did the tropes so perfectly.

Charlee & Oliver’s second chance (sorta) romance was an incredible story about reconnecting after years no contact. The the neurodivergent and bisexual aspects were portrayed beautifully and contributed to their love story in a way I can’t even describe. both of the characters journeys with grief and loss were really interesting to read and how they brought the characters together was amazing.

More in my review on goodreads!!

A year of falling in love via letters. A failed attempt at meeting in person. Five years of festering silence and then Oliver and Charlee come unexpectedly face-to-face for the first time. Somehow they need to get past the resentment and misunderstanding for the sake of the project they've been assigned to, and the way that plays out is just wonderful. The original letters are interspersed with the present-day plot, which adds an extra layer to the building tension of forced proximity in a beautifully-described rainforest setting; the reader sees how they fell for each other the first time while they struggle with being drawn to each other all over again. Charlee is such a well-drawn character, fierce and flawed and vulnerable and desperately aware of it, and Oliver is her perfect foil, willing to push when necessary and forgive openly. Their chemistry together is spectacular, and the whole book drew me in and left me with a big smile on my face.

This was such a cute & cosy read! Perfect for the autumnal months.

I’m not usually a big fan of second chance romances but this book hit the nail on the head. It was written so well with the right amount of tension and angst, it was nice seeing the main characters reconnect.

There was a dual timeline for this book which I didn’t mind. I feel like it works really well for some books which it did for this one.

Overall, I really enjoyed this & would recommend to other readers.

I read this while on holiday in Scotland and it gave me all the cosy adventure feels. It was the perfect book for the setting I was in.

”I was chasing after the person I was when I had you. I was chasing the happiness I knew with you.”

Charlee and Oliver have been pen pals for a year, writing letters to one another and slowly falling for each other. They plan to meet but Oliver stands her up and Charlee never forgives the hurt and pain he caused her. Five years later, they are thrown together by chance and all the feelings they have tried to bury deep come bubbling back to the surface. The setting, the characters, and the deep feelings they have for each other are magical and this book is one to be read!

The cover looks gorgeous too!

Many thanks to the author & netgalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review

This was UNBEARABLY cute and adorable.

I also love a good Leni cover! Her work is astonishing.
Definitely plan to read more from this author.

The characters felt so fleshed out and flawed and I love the romance.
The writing style was so addicting and I would love to read more from Elodie. This was so so cute!!!

This book had me cackling and hooked from the first page the FMC Charlee is so funny and direct I feel like we’d be besties scratch that we are besties. The MMC Oliver is my dream man scratch is my man (delulu is the solulu).

This book is a second chance romance between Charles and Oliver who connect through heartfelt letters. When a chance to encounter goes wrong. Five years later there’s a chance for redemption and force proximity. You follow Oliver and Charlie’s journey deep in the Great Bear Rainforest.

Here were my thoughts while reading the book:
* This book describes the online dating scene a little too well 😩 it’s hard out here.
* We love Canadian characters and setting I feel seen 🇨🇦
* I’m eating these letters up this book makes me want to write letters to people, my man better write me letters
* We loveee force proximity I eat it up every time
* Elodie describes two people writing to each so beautifully I can feel the love through the pages I feel so giddy 🥺
* The way Oliver describes Charlee has me all flustered my heart going pitta patta 🫶🏾
* I UNWELL 😭 is all I gotta say Ouff
* This book is heartfelt and heartwarming at the same time
* This book had me feeling my feelings
* OLIVER HAS MY HEART ♥️
* Charlee is boss ass woman who stands her ground and is a confident journalist
* Oliver is a caring teddy bear with a sexy protective and caring side he’s my dream man.

This is my love letter to Elodie,
You have created a master piece my love. This book had me delulu for yet again another fictional man. This book had me giddy, sad and in love. This book had me wanting to go camping and I hate bugs and i’m a scaredy cat so it says a lot. I need the next book stat so type way babe i’ll be waiting. In the meantime, i’ll be reading book 2. I loved book 1 the last encore and this book.

Sincerely,
Suonnah

4.5 ⭐️

Unbearably Yours is a cozy yet emotional romance packed with lots of nature exploration. Our main characters are Charlee and Oliver, who are setting out to take part in a documentary on the local wildlife. Charlee and Oliver don’t know they will be working together for the next two weeks after being estranged for the past few years after a falling out as pen pals.

Tropes include:
Pen pals 💌
Forced proximity 🤍
One tent/sleeping bag 🏕️
Slow burn 🔥

I enjoyed the pacing of this story, and the romance was just the right level of slow burn with a fantastic payoff. Watching the progression of Charlee and Oliver’s relationship paired with their past letters was so beautiful. I found myself rooting for them, and their chemistry is too good! The descriptions of the wildlife made me want to take a plane to Canada and join the exploration!

This cover perfectly captures the vibe of the book and is so stunning! I will definitely be rereading this during the fall, cozied up with a hot cup of tea. Also, Oliver is 100% book-boyfriend material!

Thank you to Netgalley and Elodie for the e-arc in exchange for my review.

<b>4.5 out of 5 stars!</b>

“You know, your eyes are the color of where I love to be the most.”
“Where is that?”
“The forest. When I look at you, it feels like I’m here. Everything goes quiet; I breathe easier. I lose myself in those green eyes until I forget where I am. And then you smile, or you say something sassy, and I snap back into the present. Every time I look at you, you whisk me away to my favorite place. It’s you. You’re where I live to be the most.”

'Unbearable Yours' follows two main characters who one day during their collage year become pen pals and start developing feelings towards one another through their words. Finding and understanding themselves more through their exchange of letters and giving feedbacks of each other’s articles, and of course finding comfort in each other.
The longing that they have for each other will make the readers swoon.

If you know me, you know that I'm the kind of the reader who loves short chapters, and this book had that. Not just only it had short chapters, but it was very fast paced as well.

Some tropes that are included in this book:
♥️ Pen pals
♥️ Sharing one tent/lodge/house. So basically forced proximity 🤭
♥️ Wildlife enthusiasts
♥️ Pining for each other over the years
♥️ Secret identities
♥️ Supportive siblings
♥️ Likeable side characters
♥️ Neurodivergent MMC
♥️ Bi FMC
♥️ Second chance romance

If you're looking for cute and quick romance books that also follows siblings and how they find become better versions of themselves again through finding their soulmates and having supportive surroundings. Then I highly recommend to read 'It's Always Been You' companion novels!

WOW i loved this book so so much, it was such a cozy read!

Tropes included:
- second chance romance
- friends to lovers (previously friends to strangers)
- forced proximity
-letter exchanges

The characters in this book fall out of touch after being previous pen pals in uni & they stumble into each other in their workplace. These two together were perfect!! This was a cute & cozy read and the wilderness setting made me love it soooo much more!

Thankyou for this ARC !

ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
My favorite book of 2024 HANDS DOWN.
This book was a masterpiece. I don’t think I’ve ever had a book completely captivate me the way this one did. I fell in love with Charlee and Oliver separately from the very beginning. And seeing their relationship blossom together was just the cherry on top. They overcame so much heartache and misunderstanding to be better together in the end.
This book will be a top 5 favorite of mine forever. - I just know it 🧡

Watching Charlee and Oliver navigate their unresolved past and rediscover their bond amidst the beauty of nature was utterly captivating. The mix of heartfelt letters, second chances, and the healing power of love made this book impossible to put down. It’s a beautiful, steamy romance that left me cheering for them every step of the way. An absolute must-read.

omg from the cover and title alone, i thought this was going to deliver and i’m so glad i was right! the romance was romance but i was also captivated by colliard’s writing and the actual plot def kept my attention, would def recommend!!

I loved this book so much that I started and finished it within a few hours. Charlee & Oliver 😭🥹🩷🌿🌲☕️🌄 🐻‍❄️🛁 This book feels like a love letter to mother earth, ourselves & love. A hug is what this story is, a warm loving hug.

“I want all of her, not just bits and pieces. Everything.”

“My dreams do not come close to doing you justice,” he tells me, echoing my own thoughts.”

This book was the perfect amount of sexy and sweet, and OH SO LOVEABLE.

“You’re my favorite book, and reading you is ridiculously easy.”

“If we’re imagining things, l imagine you smell just like the forests you spend your days in.
If I remind you of warm summers, you’re my cozy days during fall.”

Even though I just finished this book after starting at hours ago, I wish I could reread it again for the first time 😭🥹❤️

I do love a good spicy small-town romance! 4✨

Unbearably Yours follows Charlee and Oliver, who initially connected through a journalism programme where they wrote letters to each other and exchanged articles. Over the course of a year, they realised their connection was much more than just exchanging articles, until something happened that caused them to drift apart and lose communication.

Fast forward five years, they unexpectedly reunite through a work project filming a docuseries in the Great Bear Rainforest. Meeting in person for the first time, it’s clear they have unfinished business and many unanswered questions about what happened five years ago. Initially, tensions run high, but they soon learn that not everything was as it seemed.

Charlee is our free-spirited wild girl, while Oliver is our sweet cinnamon roll MMC, and I loved following their journey.

The book has alternating timelines, and I loved reading the letters they wrote to each other. I always looked forward to the next chapter. This, along with the beautiful rainforest setting, was just 👌🏼

Overall, this is a beautiful second-chance romance, and I would definitely recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley, Victory Editing, and Elodie Colliard for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. ❤️🐻

OMG. This book was EVERYTHING. I have loved Elodie's first two books and this one surely did not disappoint. I laughed. I gasped. And I certainly cried. I LOVED Charlee and Oli so freaking much. I also NEED to visit Pine Falls. Literal small town vacation goals. I also LOVE a series that has completely new characters while still bringing back the old ones, like Riley and Miles and Avery and Josh!!!!!
