Hate Mail by Donna Marchetti

Hate Mail by Donna Marchetti

Hate Mail by Donna Marchetti is a witty, fast-paced contemporary romantic comedy. It puts a fresh spin on the enemies-to-lovers trope by mixing it with a lifelong pen-pal rivalry.

Back in the fifth grade, Naomi Light and Luca Pichler were matched up in a mandatory school pen-pal program. Luca wanted absolutely nothing to do with it, so he sent a mean, sarcastic note hoping his assigned partner would leave him alone. Instead of getting offended, Naomi fired back an equally scathing, insult-filled response. This kicked off a decades-long tradition of sending each other "hate mail"—a hilarious battle of verbal jousting that secretly evolved into their deepest, most trusted friendship.
