I was intrigued at the idea of sharing anonymous love letters. I enjoyed reading the different letters. Although there were some that I couldn't relate to, I was still interested. I also liked that the letters were separated by sections.

I truly enjoyed the writing of this short story. I also enjoyed the concept of anonymous letter. Although I enjoyed the writing most of the time it could be hard to read.

It was a collection of diary entry talking about intimate moments between the poet and their partner. These were so cute i enjoyed reading it

I love the concept of this book – sharing anonymous love letter from all around the world.

However, I couldn't really connect with them. I could relate to some of them and really enjoyed reading them, but overall I found myself fighting to stay focused page after page.

I still think it's a beautiful idea and a tribute to these people and their loved ones.

la verdad es que no me gusta demasiado cuando los versos ocupan toda la página, cosa que sucede acá. No me deja disfrutar la lectura. Y que fuera en formato cartas/diario, tampoco ayuda

<i>ARC Review!</i>
Thank you NetGalley for sending me this arc in exchange for an honest review.

The English lover in me is thriving. Each letter capturing such depth and feeling. I loved how it tapped into universal emotions so elegantly. As someone who enjoys breaking down prose like this, I found myself savoring every word and nuance.

I feel bad only giving 2 stars because it was closer to a 2.5 for sure. I didn't hate it - the idea behind anonymous letters collected was brilliant. The cohesiveness of the book is where I kind of lost focus. It was difficult to sit and read through it all. I found myself getting distracted with how different each page was. Again, the idea was impeccable but the execution was a stretch. Thank you Netgalley and Central Avenue Publishing for this ARC!

While the writing could’ve been very lyrical and beautiful at times, I had trouble really connecting to these letters and stories.

Where do I begin? I thought the writing was beautiful. I wanted to branch out what I read and went in to this one not knowing what to expect. I loved Dear Love. The writing is so eloquent and there’s so many quotes I wish to remember for a long time. I really enjoyed the end and how different aspects of love were incorporated. I think this encapsulates love in so many different ways and made me feel so many emotions. Definitely recommend this one.

A different book from the novels I usually read. The cover captivated me and I needed to see what the author would convey inside! I enjoyed reading the intimate letters he crafted about love in various forms. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I really enjoyed the prose in this book! The premise was unique and interesting. Every letter felt human and expressed raw emotions, the desire and cherish sections were my personal favorite! I also love the inclusivity. Great work and I enjoyed this read.
