Because You'll Never Meet Me by Leah Thomas

Because You'll Never Meet Me starts off with a 14-year-old named Ollie. He lives with his mother in a cabin in the middle of the forest he is also allergic to electricity a cell phone or even a small battery causes him to have a seizure. Then we have Moritz. He is an extremely not social 16-year-old, lives with his adoptive father, and has a pacemaker. He was born without eyes but he isn't blind, he can see through his ears, kind of like a bat. Because of Moritz's pacemaker that keeps him alive, if he and Ollie were to ever meet, Ollie would probably fry his pacemaker and Moritz would die. The book is written in form of letters between Ollie and Moritz. I really loved this way of writing, and there are also scenes and dialogues in the letters so it doesn't feel like you are just reading some story. The book is so atmospheric. I got a good sense of Ollie’s isolation, and the world of nothing he lived in. And such a sense of Moritz’s pain and suffering. Yet still, both of them filled me with so much hope that I fell into a lot of pieces while reading. This was a stunning book, a very well-told story.
