Description

Review “An anxious, agoraphobic heroine takes center stage in this optimistic contemporary from Keeland and Ward…Griffin and Luca’s letters are endearing and believably intimate…Readers motivated to see this unlikely heroine succeed will forgive the more fantastical indulgences of this light, escapist romance.” ― Publishers Weekly “ Dirty Letters will have you laugh, cry, and root for this couple as you follow their tragedies and triumphs.” ― Fresh Fiction “This story is filled with pain, anxiety (that is so real you can feel it), hurt, a connection that spanned over the years and miles, and a love to last forever.” ― Wicked Reads “It was frustrating and sweet and beautifully romantic to see the lengths someone will go through to be with the person that their heart tells them they need, and someone who is willing to face their greatest fears in order to be with you.” ― Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews About the Author Vi Keeland is a #1 New York Times , #1 Wall Street Journal , and USA Today bestselling author.

Beautiful Romance That Overcomes So Much Through Friendship & Unconditional Love

Wow I have so much love for this book! Griffin and Luca begin their story in the most innocent way - childhood pen pals. Living an ocean apart they become best friends able to tell each other anything as they realize the odds of meeting in person likely will never happen. But Griffin is left wondering what possibly could have gone wrong when they are about to graduate high school and Luca's letters just abruptly stop. The next eight years have left him in a state of anger and loss, so one drunken night he sends Luca a scathing letter letting her know his feelings. Luca is so surprised and thrilled and devastated all at the same time to realize how much her absence has hurt Griffin and she has to admit the absence has hurt herself as well. Luca decides that she is going to be honest with Griffin and tell the truth about what happened and ask, no beg for forgiveness hoping they can resume their friendship. That is how this remarkable love story begins.

Griffin is incredible in his ability and willingness to try and understand the debilitating anxiety Luca lives with and Luca finds the courage to try to break free from the chains that bind her so that she can experience life with Griffin.

I loved their banter, conversations, honesty, even the harsh realities both Griffin and Luca had to face because they were able to get unconditional comfort from each other. Their path is not an easy one. Luca has incredible support from Doc and he is fabulous, but ultimately she finds that to make the decisions she wants to make she needs to do them on her own. I cried for both of these characters and was so happy with their hard earned HEA. Your easiest 1 click!!!

I love the direction this fabulous duo went with their newest tease of Dirty Letters. From beginning to end this was an absolutely entertaining read. There’s secrets, adventure, insane chemistry and even a quirky doc and pig thrown in the mix. I know right?! You don’t want to miss Luca and Griffin’s journey from pen to person!

Another Amazing book from Amazing Authors

Once again Penelope & Vi have given us an amazing story. This one was so unique and I couldn’t love it more. 5 stars just isn’t enough. All the stars wouldn’t be enough.

Luca and Griffin were pen pals when they were younger. They wrote to each other for years. Until one day Luca stopped writing back. Griffin was so hurt and angry that she stopped writing back.

Luca’s life completely changed one night eight years ago. Now she is surrounded by fear and uncertainty. She wants to put these fears behind her but it’s a work in process. One day she stumbled upon a letter Griffin had sent recently. She decided to take the plunge and write back. Once again, they became re-acquainted and learned new adult things about each other.

Griffin was keeping something from Luca. He knew the life he led now would be too much for Luca to handle. Luca knee Griffin was hiding something. She embarks on a cross country road trip that will change both of their lives forever.

Luca and Griffin were completely different people but they were so incredibly perfect for each other. This story (like all the others) pulled me in from the first page. I didn’t want it to end.
