I’d never forgotten him—a man I’d yet to meet.
Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn’t have been more different from me. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break.
Until one day it did.
Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. A scathing one—one with eight years of pent-up anger. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing.
Griffin forgave me, and somehow we were able to rekindle our childhood connection. Only now we were adults, and that connection had grown to a spark. Our letters quickly went from fun to flirty to downright dirty, revealing our wildest fantasies. So it only made sense that we would take our relationship to the next level and see each other in person.
Only Griff didn’t want to meet. He asked that I trust him and said it was for the best. But I wanted more—more Griff, in the flesh—so I took a big chance and went looking for him. People have done crazier things for love.
But what I found could change everything.

I DNFed this at 90 % because I really couldn't finish this.
The beginning of this book was great. The whole story idea was great, I liked the letters, I liked how they turned sexy (although I expected something much dirtier) and how it all went on - until they met in real life. I don't know what happened, but around 60 %, the book got extremely boring and I couldn't feel any chemistry between the characters anymore.
Luca had anxiety problems and she couldn't live like a "normal" person. She was terrified of crowds and closed places.
Griffin was the superstar. Literally. He lived among big crowds and he was constantly surrounded by people.
Their relationship had to face a lot of problems and they would have to try hard to make it work. And, although I understand how anxiety works, it just got really boring and repetitive; Griffin trying way too hard and running after Luca and her being terrified their relationship just couldn't work and getting cold on him.
I just didn't feel this book and when this was still going on at 90 %, I just knew that I don't really care for this book anymore and I was forcing myself to continue reading it.
I'm saddened because I truly wanted to enjoy this story. The whole idea of it was interesting and it intrigued me. This wasn't really my cup of tea, sadly.
