A review by cglibraryy
Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

5.0

» 5 stars ★

» Two rival journalists unknowingly connect through anonymous letters during a time of war. They both start to rely on and trust each other during their struggles in life through the letters all the while competing in person.

» I loved the concept of this book! At first, I got "you've got mail" vibes until I realized that it was much more complex and different than that later on. The rivals-to-lovers trope was written so so well! Their character development tied in so well with their relationship development. The portrayal of Iris and Roman getting to know each other and slowly liking each other was written so well and I loved it! My heart broke towards the end, currently sobbing rn. Everything (even what made my heart break) was *chef's kiss*!

»My favorite quotes:
"People are just people, and they carry their own set of fears, dreams, desires, pains and mistakes."
"I grew something living in a season of death."
