They e-mailed back and forth the first half of the book. Aaron is a soldier who is based in Afghanistan and Ruby lives with her parents in the US. Their means of communication is only through e-mails and chats. So the story was all about Ruby Marisol Santos and Aaron Hall whose friendship started virtually. There was no chemistry or a spark between them. Worse is that the heroine herself, a half-Filipina, tolerated it and called the food “gross”.Īpart from that, I didn’t feel an ounce of connection to the characters. Hate is such a strong word for it so maybe I could go for resentment over the fact that there was racism shoved in its part and characters even made fun of a Filipino food. First of all I don’t hate this book nor the author. What she didn’t count on was falling in love with the guy. Care packages were optional.īeen there, done that. The guidelines were simple: one letter or email a week for the length of his or her deployment. Ruby Santos knew exactly what she was getting herself into when she signed up to write a soldier overseas.
