Dear Aaron – Mariana Zapata

A tender, slow-burn romance built entirely on letters, emails, and the courage to love across distance.

Ruby Santos expected a pen pal program to be simple: write letters to a soldier, get replies, maybe make a friend. She didn't expect Aaron — the quiet, steady soldier who slowly became her anchor. Through their correspondence, their bond grows into something deeper, built on trust, patience, and Zapata's signature slow-burn magic.

Viral on BookTok for its epistolary romance format and the emotional hook: "He was her letters, her lifeline, her love." Perfect for fans of Mariana Zapata's Wait for It, Beth O'Leary's The Flatshare, and Emily Henry's Happy Place. A must-have for Zapata collectors — pairs beautifully with Kulti and The Wall of Winnipeg and Me.

A trade paperback (2017) in Very Good condition — minor shelf wear, pages clean and intact, binding tight.
