Griffin and Luca have to work hard for their happily ever after, and Keeland and Ward make sure the payoff is well worth it. In all seriousness, while Dirty Letters does have a fair amount of steam (I can never look at a Furby in the same way again), it also has a lot of angst and pain and all sorts of emotions. Oh, and he also happens to now live in the same country as you and be a world-famous rock star. Now imagine having a pen pal, becoming BFFs with him over all the angsty, tumultuous teenage years, then having him grow up to look like this cover model. This was before social media was a thing (ahem), and so the idea of connecting with a near-stranger hundreds, possibly thousands of miles away, seemed like a fun and inexpensive way to learn about life in other countries. Blame it on Sweet Valley Twins, where Elizabeth Wakefield’s best friend Amy Sutton had a pen pal who came to visit. People have done crazier things for love.īut what I found could change everything.When I was in grade school, I wanted a pen pal. But I wanted more-more Griff, in the flesh-so I took a big chance and went looking for him. He asked that I trust him and said it was for the best. So it only made sense that we would take our relationship to the next level and see each other in person.

Our letters quickly went from fun to flirty to downright dirty, revealing our wildest fantasies.

Only now we were adults, and that connection had grown to a spark. Griffin forgave me, and somehow we were able to rekindle our childhood connection. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing. A scathing one-one with eight years of pent-up anger. Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break.

Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn’t have been more different from me. I’d never forgotten him-a man I’d yet to meet. An Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestseller.įrom New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes an unexpected love story that started with a boy and girl and heats up when the man and woman reconnect.
