Oh, my heart aches...

I picked up Letters to the Lost on a whim earlier this year and ended up falling in love with the story and all of the characters - it genuinely took me by surprise. One of my favourite characters, and I'm sure most people who have read Letters would agree, had to be Rev. His story was touched upon in Letters and I was so excited when I saw More Than We Can Tell was available on Netgalley and I was given a cop for review.

I honestly didn't expect this book to have as much of an impact on me as Letters did , but I feel as though I finished this book more of an emotional mess than the first one.

Rev's back story was heart breaking. With every story that we got told it made my heart ache even more for him and really showed what a great character he is. I really enjoyed Emma's character and how her relationship with her parents developed throughout the book as their family dynamic changed.

The relationship between Rev and Emma was so well executed - the way they helped each other with their problems was so sweet. Just the right amount of cute without it turning into YA cringe - the chemistry between the two of them was created so well.

One of the main reasons I loved Letters so much was because of the friendship between Declan and Rev and this book expanded on that so much more. Honestly, I probably dug this friendship more than the relationship between Rev and Emma OR Declan and Juliette. Matthew was a great edition to this book and it would be great to see if he ends up getting his own story.

If you read Letters, pick this book up immediately.

If you haven't read Letters, pick it up immediately and then this one immediately afterwards.

Love, love, love this book.

I received an ARC copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I would like to thank them, the publisher Bloomsbury Children's and the author Brigid Kemmerer for this opportunity.
