"If it weren't for music, I would think that love is mortal." ― Mark Helprin Music brings people together. It brought them together.

"Sometimes the words we leave unspoken are the most important ones that should have been said"- Unknown. Every day, day after day, we leave some of our words unspoken, thoughts we wished the other person knew, meaning to tell them, sooner or later. But life is a whirlwind of uncertainty and we don't have control over the people in our lives or how long they'll be a part of it. You will be gone in the blink of an eye and the words I have been meaning to say will forever remain unspoken. After all "the bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone" as Harriet Beecher Stowe has rightly said. And I don't want to regret the words that were never spoken. My letters will speak to you in a way I never did. All the things I could never tell you: my anger, my love, my affection; the feelings I could never convey, my letters will. So, Dear You, Now you know... Love, Ida Cover credits: @xHemmingshugsx

It was like some kind of perfectly imperfect romantic comedy - like You've Got Mail only better. I left him letters, he left me letters. No personal information shared, no names, no addresses, no nothing. Only advice to help us through the toughest of times. He was there when no one else was. It was surreal until I realized just one very crucial thing. I was falling in love with my pen pal stranger. And this was most definitely NOT okay.

Yes there is swoon worthy kissing (and a lot of it) as well as a love triangle that rivals even Jacob, Bella, and Edward (Team Jacob guys come on) but this book deals with mental health such as depression and anxiety disorders, suicide and of course cancer and dying. You've been warned.*
