I loved everything about this book! Wonderful character development and a real sense of place. I found myself wanting and needing to research the time period to fully understand the characters. A thoughtful and very insightful book.

As a booklover I adored Kate & Frida and the story Fay crafted. It's told in a series of letters sent back and forth between the two characters. The writing is charming, and I became invested in what would happen to each character. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

A beautiful tribute to friendship. The story is set in the early 1990s and told entirely through letters between Kate and Frida. A routine inquiry letter to a book store becomes something so much more when a cheerful bookstore employee responds.

This was so charming and heartfelt. It was lovely to see how Kate and Frida changed over the course of the letters, and how they changed one another with their book recommendations, musings, and encouragement. Recommended to anyone looking for a sweet, nostalgic read.

Thank you very much to Putnam and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a copy.
