Blurb
I met my soulmate on July 17th, 2017. He wasn’t my typical type, but
the way his ice blue eyes cut through me and his deep honeyed voice warmed me
back up made him something new entirely; they were two of the million little
things that seemed to make him mine.
Except…I met my fiancé December 22nd, 2012.
I didn’t plan for any of this to happen. Not to meet James Larrabee or to fall in love. Not to hurt the people closest to me. And definitely, definitely not to write the letters that would be both my salvation and my damnation.

Author Bio
Ace Gray is a best selling author, self-proclaimed
troublemaker and connoisseur of both the good life and fairy tales. After a
life-long love affair with both books, she undertook writing the novel she
wanted to read. Ten books later, she's gotten to live in the world of
billionaires, twisted murders, and sweet small towns. She's made her heart
race both with suspense and serious swoon and wouldn't trade one minute, one
word of it.
When she's not writing, she owns a taco truck in a ski town
in Colorado even though she can't cook a lick (that's all her husband). She
loves paddle boarding, snowboarding, camping, basically anything
outside... and hosting dinner parties (though she's only in it for the drinks).
Oh, and of course, writing more words.

This is my first book by Alex Gray. I fell in love with the title and blurb straight away and I was so excited to start this. Unfortunately that excitement didn’t last.
All The Letters I’ll Never Send You starts with a series of letters written by a woman who’s in love with her co worker. She makes it clear she never intends to let him read the letters, it’s a way for her to process her feelings. This is the part when a little of my excitement died. I felt like I was missing something. The letters gave such a one sided, at times I thought somewhat vague, view of what was happening. I just couldn’t shake the feeling that I was missing something but hoped things would be explained later in the book. You can see the impact that events are having on Mila, you can feel her pain and suffering, her turmoil and infatuation. The story then skips to three years later, she’s moved away, she’s getting her life in order and then James appears sending her spiralling.
I struggled with both Mila and James. I couldn’t connect with either of them. Mila is a hot mess when it comes to James but I couldn’t see why. What made him so special? Was he interested or playing games? Mila is borderline obsessed with James, she questions everything and at times I found her to be very draining. The constant back and forth between them didn’t have the angst I was hoping for, it just got tiresome.
I really wanted to love this book. I had such high expectations and I’m not sure if that’s got anything to do with my feelings about the book. Did I build it up too much in my head? Possibly. I loved the idea of it but maybe getting just Minas pov wasn’t enough for me? I can’t help but feel getting James pov would’ve brought a lot more to the story. Is it a case of it’s not the book, it’s me? I don’t know. I do think this is one of those books that everyone will form different opinions about, some are going to love it and some like me are going to struggle.
