At times, it felt as if I was missing part of the story, for example, the times where they meet, but it was still fun to read. It is interesting to watch their story unfold in this unusual manner. Regardless, Tim and 19 year old Amelie begin a quirky romance told to the reader only through their correspondence. He proceeds to write to her, only to find it’s someone else. Tim, a high school senior, becomes intrigued with a girl he sees drop a letter on the street. I liked how some of the notes were placed on objects, like a a table, with a full photo of the table and room it was placed. Unlike traditional books, the story is told entirely in letters, e-mails, text messages, and notes scribbled on random pieces of paper, all juxtaposed against interesting graphics that take up full pages. This is one of the most original books (in concept) that I have read in a while and it is a great book for reluctant readers. I read this book a while ago, but I figured I would write about it anyway.
