Here's the blurb:
Our stories are told through letters written between characters. Our first collection is told through 24 letters.
Subscribe and look forward to receiving 2 letters every month, for a year. Each month, one of the letters will contain a postcard you can send to a friend, or keep for your own collection. Be on the lookout for a few surprises too!
Our stories are interactive historical fiction and center around a certain era or historical event. We hope this inspires you to research these events to enrich your experience with The Flower Letters.
Also, be sure to save your letters - you might need them later!
I'm not seeing anything to make this sound tempting or interesting. Supposedly each letter is hand folded and stuffed. I'm not a fan of books that are basically correspondence. I did enjoy Up the Down Staircase years ago, but it was more memos than actual letters.

I do like epistolary novels, done well. However, this has all the earmarks of grossly overpriced twee trash. I would be absolutely gobsmacked if the letters weren’t chock full of anachronisms, that 21st century take on how things must have been during WWII.
