Summary
It all started with an anonymous letter。
He wasn’t supposed to find it—no one was。 And he definitely wasn’t supposed to answer it。
We end up talking through letters and sticky notes in a book。 One sticky note。 Two sticky notes。 Ten sticky notes。 All baring our darkest， deepest secrets。
It’s all fun and games until I find out who my pen pal is。。。
Xavier Emery。 King of my basketball-obsessed town， my childhood bully， and the guy I am in grave danger of falling in love with。
But the rules were clear: we can never know who we’re talking to， and the confessions can never， ever get out。 Seriously。 It would destroy lives。
Fine by me。 Even if Mr。 Popular does find out his confidant is little old me， it’s not like he’d ever love me back…
Right？

Great High school bully romance - although light on the bullying which was definitely a bonus with this storyline。 Aleena accidentally starts an anonymous pen pal relationship with Xavier， her middle school bully and first crush。 I loved seeing how this relationship panned out， Xavier was super sweet with her once he found out， even though he had been a bit of a tart before they got together。 It was a slow burn that felt believable and hugely satisfying。 Perfect for what I was in the mood for。

I'm gonna start by saying that I loved this book！ I didn't expect to enjoy it so much but I couldn't stop reading。 Aveena and Xavier were pen pals， shared dark secrets， and established a deep conection。 They opened up to each other and cared for one another。 I thought they were perfect together and really cute。 I didn't like it though when Xavier didn't step up to help Aveena when everybody was saying mean things to her。 Also I HATE Xavier's mother， she was a terrible person。 This was the first I'm gonna start by saying that I loved this book！ I didn't expect to enjoy it so much but I couldn't stop reading。 Aveena and Xavier were pen pals， shared dark secrets， and established a deep conection。 They opened up to each other and cared for one another。 I thought they were perfect together and really cute。 I didn't like it though when Xavier didn't step up to help Aveena when everybody was saying mean things to her。 Also I HATE Xavier's mother， she was a terrible person。 This was the first book I read by Eliah Greenwood and I'm definitely gonna read more。 。。。more

This was sooooo good。 I really enjoyed it。 I loved the rules trilogy by this author and was pleasantly surprised when I came across this book by her。 Loved Vee and Xavier， loved the chemistry and the back story。 Supporting characters were also great with a story playing out between two other couples。 Would love to read Dia and Finns book and Theo and Ashley's too。 This was sooooo good。 I really enjoyed it。 I loved the rules trilogy by this author and was pleasantly surprised when I came across this book by her。 Loved Vee and Xavier， loved the chemistry and the back story。 Supporting characters were also great with a story playing out between two other couples。 Would love to read Dia and Finns book and Theo and Ashley's too。 。。。more

honestly for small town high school melodrama this really hit 。。。。。 <3 the protagonists were all likable and fun and though the antagonists felt sort of cartoonish and flat i think the story was set up nicely and the romance was well done。 epilogue was kind of a lot but。 young love！ can’t say i haven’t been there！

I actually really loved this story。 There were a。 Purple things that didn’t make sense。 Such as his parents got married when she was pregnant with him （18year old boy） but they were celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary。Or why a teacher would return and retake out the same books every other day。 Or even why someone would get punished for something they had nothing to do with。。。 but take out those things and it was great。

Loved！！Gah！！ I so love this book even the typos， yes I know they were on purpose in the prologue， but there was still some in the story。 Quite a few actually but the amazing-ness of the story outweighs them。 I can't believe his dad but the blame on him as well， his mom I kinda figured， but it seemed like maybe he had gotten closer to him after he found out。 I don't know what it is about stories that have a secret identity thing going on but I'm a sucker for those。 The only thing I wish the guy c Loved！！Gah！！ I so love this book even the typos， yes I know they were on purpose in the prologue， but there was still some in the story。 Quite a few actually but the amazing-ness of the story outweighs them。 I can't believe his dad but the blame on him as well， his mom I kinda figured， but it seemed like maybe he had gotten closer to him after he found out。 I don't know what it is about stories that have a secret identity thing going on but I'm a sucker for those。 The only thing I wish the guy could be the one to find out first but whatever I still love them！ Should definitely read！ Goes too fast but there is a short playlist。 。。。more

I liked the story， liked the characters and the chemistry between them and the anonymous letters element。。 but the drama and angst got too much， for me at least。 I get it's a story based in highschool but still！ It's the only reason I deducted a star for this one。。 Otherwise it was pretty enjoyable。4 stars！ ⭐ I liked the story， liked the characters and the chemistry between them and the anonymous letters element。。 but the drama and angst got too much， for me at least。 I get it's a story based in highschool but still！ It's the only reason I deducted a star for this one。。 Otherwise it was pretty enjoyable。4 stars！ ⭐ 。。。more
