It was rather short.<br /><br />The one book that I like that was in epistolary style is Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn. It was a bit ridiculous because the letters of the alphabet keeps getting removed so the letters are written without certain alphabets and toward the end of the book, the letters are a bit weirdly written because of lack of letters. It was a fun read.<br /><br />Have a lovely day.lissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11012085842881252635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178061027984498724.post-73135137342129972412021-12-07T09:31:46.885-08:002021-12-07T09:31:46.885-08:00I really enjoyed the Griffin and Sabine books.
