On February 14, an accidental email to a stranger opens the door to an unexpected relationship in a captivating short story by the New York Times bestselling authors of The Unhoneymooners.

One typo, and a boy and a girl connect by chance. Wishing each other a happy Valentine’s Day isn’t the end. In fact, it becomes a friendly annual tradition—with rules: no pics, no real names, nothing too personal. As years pass, the rules for their email “dates” are breaking, and they’re sharing more than they imagined—including the urge to ask…what if we actually met?

I enjoyed the first half of the story, where we read emails between the main couple. It was really sweet and cute. I wished the whole story was in that format, until maybe the end, where, of course, they finally meet.

But then, the story took a turn in the second half, where we saw them in person, and it just went downhill for me. I didn’t like the sexual innuendos used, and the dialogue was cringey. I didn’t appreciate the vulgar language and immaturity of the characters. These authors are just not for me. I will not read anything else by them. Do not recommend.
