Synopsis:
Everyone knows what it means to have a teal envelope taped to their locker on the first day of the month.
Everyone except new girl McKinnon Gregory.
The envelope is the start of a monthly tradition called the Secret Admirers, and something McKinnon never thought she’d see.
To her surprise– and everyone else’s– the teal envelope is taped to her locker on March first.
McKinnon only has one month to figure out the clues. But she barely knows anyone, which makes it infinitely harder to determine her secret admirer’s identity.
Will she figure it out before the month’s over?
And if she does, will the guy she’s fallen for through letters be just as amazing in person?
Review:
Dear McKinnon was such a sweet read and I was honestly quite surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I’ll be honest and say I picked up this book because of its short length and also because contemporaries are always quicker reads for me, but it did not disappoint. I genuinely enjoyed the whole book and the premise was so fun.
Leaving secret notes for someone you like is such a cute idea, but why was it always the boy leaving the notes? It does say they sometimes leave them for other boys, so any boys that are gay are not left out, but what about the lesbians? Why can’t they join in? I’m obviously being very nitpicky and this may change further in the series.
I really enjoyed how simplistic the story was and I love anything that has anonymous communication, especially written letters. It was only one-way anonymous, obviously, but it’s still very cute. I loved that you got to know the boy through his letters, which he calls his true self, rather than knowing him through his high school reputation.
This was also a super quick read, it did take me multiple nights to get through but that’s because I kept leaving it so late and therefore falling asleep. I could have easily read the whole thing in one sitting.
I’m definitely planning to continue this series at some point, I’m intrigued to see how different each book is, as surely there are only so many ways you could do this idea? Well, I’ll find out I suppose.
I’d highly recommend you check out Dear McKinnon if you’re looking for a sweet romance that is available through Kindle Unlimited!
