The Letters We Keep

The Letters We Keep

Nisha Sharma

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

It doesn’t take long for ambitious freshman and aspiring engineer Jessie Ahuja to learn about two university legends. One is the haunted history of Davidson Tower, where more than fifty years ago, two ill-fated lovers disappeared in a devastating fire. The other is Ravi Kumar, a privileged billionaire nepo baby who’s aggravatingly charming and occupying more brain space than Jessie has room for. Things change when a campus prank locks them both in the old tower’s ghostly library. There, Jessie finds letters from the fabled lost lovers, forgotten in a hollowed-out copy of Persuasion. One by one, the letters suck Jessie and Ravi into a beguiling mystery and an achingly beautiful long-ago romance destined to go up in flames. It’s also drawing Jessie and Ravi—every bit as star-crossed—closer together. Can they overcome whatever fate has in store for them? Or are they just as doomed as the young lovers whose tragic end has become legend?

    Honestly I think that Nisha's YA and NA just isn't for me. I love her adult books, and then finding myself not really caring about the relationships in the ones meant for younger audiences. I didn't really find Jessie's and Ravi's chemistry to be that great, and I really wanted more from the letters (maybe a dual timeline situation?). I probably would have DNFed this if it was anyone other than Nisha writing it, she still has such an amazing writing style that I still couldn't put this one down even though I wanted to.

    I really wanted to love this book. The plot was there however unfortunately I found the dialogue to be lacking and the romantic relationship and the characters to be underdeveloped. The Idea of the letters was so good but the execution just wasn’t there for me. I did however enjoy the last 50 pages and felt they were the strongest point.

    Thank you Net Galley for the Arc!
