Malachi Keogh finds himself in a job he neither wanted nor asked for when his father, boss of Sydney's postal service, sends him to the end of the business line, a.k.a. the Dead Letter Office. Malachi expects it to be tedious and boring, but instead discovers a warehouse with a quirky bunch of misfit co-workers, including a stoic and nerdy boss, Julian Pollard. Malachi's intrigued by Julian at first, and he soon learns there's more to the man than his boring clothes of beige, tan, and brown; a far cry from Malachi's hot pink, lilac, and electric blue. Where Julian is calm and ordered, Malachi is chaos personified, but despite their outward differences, there's an immediate chemistry between them that sends Malachi's head - and heart - into a spin. To keep his father happy, Malachi needs to keep this job. He also needs to solve the mystery of the pile of old letters that sits in Julian's office and maybe get to the bottom of what makes Julian tick. Like everything that goes through the mail center, only time will tell if Malachi has found his intended destination or if he'll find himself returned to sender.… (more)

What an utterly adorable story. If you enjoy quirky x reserved, a cast of amusing characters, and an old intriguing and emotional mystery, give this book a try. Apparently a few reviewers were disappointed that the answer to the puzzle wasn't extensive, but those people just don't understand romance structure, is all. The focus stays on our main characters, as it should. There is a short story that follows this book, which I'm saving for later. I won't forget anything about this book, it lives rent free in my head now. ( )

I love N.R. Walker's work. I've read most of her books and anxiously await the next one. This one captivated me completely with its humor, earnestness, and I-wish-I-could-work-there vibe. I had the best job in the whole world for 28 years, so it takes a lot to make me have that feeling, especially if it doesn't involve an animal of some type. The letters carried their own interesting mystery. They were like paper ghost that had waited years to tell their stories...and what stories some of them had. While finding the authors and recipients of decades-old misplaced or lost love letters was the premise of the book, it also helped to act as a catalyst in the romance between Malachi and Julian. Some might say the story is too sweet, but I thought it was perfectly lovely and warm and even hilarious in places, thanks to Malachi’s inability to stop talking. ( )

What a fabulous audiobook! N.R. Walker's story is already 5 Stars but Glen Lloyd's narration just adds that something special! I think I may have a new favourite narrator! ( )

You know how there's one teeny piece of straw that supposedly breaks the camel's back? Well, I found it. And the invisible line one crosses with that one step too far? Yeah, well, apparently, I found that too.
