I really liked it. I loved how easy it was to read and I found Sybil very amusing. I didn’t cry, which is unusual for me, but I also didn’t read the hardest paragraph. I didn’t have it in me after a sad year. I actually found the redemption line of the story the most compelling part of the book. I was proud of Sybil by the end. We all have the potential to grow and evolve no matter our age, life circumstances, etc. Beautiful

So appreciate the recommendations for this book.

Bought it yesterday, finished it yesterday.

What a delight.

Loved the book. I bought it because of the hype but feared I would find it dull or irritating based on the description. I'm so glad to say I was really, really wrong.

Just finished. Tears pouring down my face.

Absolutely the best book I’ve read this year. Each letter/email felt like a little gift to me to savor. I loved it.

One of five stars of the year. Might be the best book I read this year.

I'm OP. I'm sure the audiobook is great, but because of the letter format I much prefer reading. There were also so many lines that I loved that I wanted to read over and over, which is hard in an audio format.

So glad that it's getting the attention it deserves. What a gem of a book.

I thought the audiobook was really well done.

OK, you hooked me! Adding to my TBR list.

On the 300+ person waitlist....

This is up next for me. Any thoughts on whether it’s good as an audio book or better in print?

Also one of my favorites this year. Certainly my favorite book published in 2025. I've leant it to 4 friends so far and they have all loved it as well!

Yes OP, it's beautiful. One of my top reads of the year and I've read a lot of books.

It's sitting on my to read pile. Might be next.

Has anyone read this?

I finished it in two days and absolutely loved it. I loved the main character, the letters, and the simple but perfect language. I found it to be a beautiful book.
