 Dear Readers, 
 My name is India Leigh, and I'm reviewing this book with the help of Goodreads website. Now, I'm not sure if you've read Mariana Zapata yet or if this will be your first book of hers, but if you aren't familiar with her style of writing, I'll break you in so you aren't wondering why this woman India is raving about her book. 
 Here's the thing about Mariana Zapata, she is the slow burning queen. Yes- QUEEN. Her books are all about the build up, and never an insta-love. You will know the characters inside and out before the end of the book. 
 Things I liked about this book. 
 1. This was a completely different style than she normally does. I was shocked at first seeing the email style, but I found myself smiling like some weirdo through the entire first half of the book! Seriously, each email they sent- I was giggling like a mad woman.... But for those who don't like this style, the whole book isn't written like this. 
 2. Ruby was so funny. Ruby takes part in this program called Help a Soldier and she writes to people stationed over seas. She wasn't as confident as the other main protagonists in Zapata's books. I still loved Ruby though! All her emails to Aaron seemed so real. I'll never judge her for stepping in you-know-what. 
 3. Aaron. Will you marry me? Just kidding- but seriously, will you? Everything about him was so perfect. I'll forgive the 20 something girlfriends and how his certain body part feels. His life in the service and experiences made me love him too! 
 This book wrapped up perfectly. I will always remain a faithful reader to Zapata. 
 Now for those who like jokes, I'll leave a corny one here. 
 Why didn't the lifeguard save the drowning hippy? 
 He was too far out, man. 
 Hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.

 P.S. I still want to see a photo of Ruby's mom.
