Closed door
Harper inherits her grandmothers post office when her grandmother unexpectantly dies. She moves back home while she figures out what shes doing with her life. She finds a bundle of love letters that were never delivered locked in her grandmothers desk, starting the mystery of why werent they delivered, and who were these people? She meets Colby, who works for the postal service and he helps her locate the owners of the letters and try to reunite them. Harper and Colby feel a connection to eachother, but Harper isn't sure of her plans to stay and Colby is wary of falling for someone just to leave, he's been burned before. They figure out who the letters belong to and reunite them, and they also start a relationship.
I feel like the story centered more around the Post Office than the letters themselves. I liked the writing. I only noticed one typo of a missing quotation mark. I don’t usually read closed door but I needed a pallet cleanser, and this was perfect. The only thing that really threw me off is they were pretty vocal about their feelings for each other and then about 75 Percent in they sort of acted like it was the first time telling each other they loved each other despite both saying it earlier on. so that was weird to me. Overall great debut novel! I will read the rest in the series! Can’t wait to read Quinn’s story
