It doesn’t matter that I have read “Dear Heart, I Miss You” 3 times; I will gladly read it as many times as possible. “DHIMY” will always have a special place in my heart. Being part of the process of an author I love from beginning to end was amazing. I saw the story develop with the changes the readers suggested to the finalized version. Having the privilege to beta read and give feedback was an experience I will never forget.
I was hooked from the dedication! The opening of “Dear Heart, I Miss You” is a letter from Finn to his mother. You could see Finn’s memory in the opening letter as if it was happening in real-time. The letter was the backstory of what happened to make Finn who he is today. Letters tie in with the theme of the series’ first book, and having them throughout added to the story.
“Dear Heart, I Miss You” was emotional, but I wouldn’t expect anything less. Eliah Greenwood’s works are always an emotional rollercoaster ride. The first time I read “DHIMY”, I teared up but didn’t the other times. However, I was hoping to cry at some point while I was reading, but it never happened, but I felt it, even without tears. The experience would’ve been entirely different if I had only felt indifference.
Some things that bothered me were Finn and Dia’s miscommunication, how they keep hurting one another, and other people in general. But without these things, there wouldn’t be a story.
Finn is broken. My heart breaks for him. His past made him the way he is. It doesn’t excuse his actions, but it does give us insight into them. You want to hate him. And there are moments that you will. But you can’t hate him. Or at least I can’t. He keeps hurting everyone around him. He was on a path of self-destruction. Even though he doesn’t mean to, he keeps hurting Dia. Finn loves her. They understand each other on a deeper level. They bring out the worst of each other and the best of each other. Since meeting, they grew as people because of each other.
Dia is not innocent. She, like Finn, keeps hurting the people around her without even realizing it. Dia isn’t the same person as she was before last summer. People change, and they grow. But she changed for the worse before trying to be better. At least she realized that she had changed. She kept hurting Vee, even though they were best friends. Friendships aren’t perfect, but I’m glad they were able to make their way back to each other. How she treated her dads is not the best. But then again, she’s a teenager, so I understand. Because of her relationship with Finn, she’s been sneaking around and hiding things from her dads. I don’t like how Dia acts, but when I think about it, if I were in the same situations, would I have done the same things?
I’m glad that the characters aren’t perfect. No one wants to read about perfect people. Humans have flaws, and these characters have flaws too. It’s what makes them realistic and relatable. You can see yourself in the characters, whether it may be positive or negative. Sometimes their actions frustrate me. But I can understand it. I love that reading any of Eliah’s works can evoke emotions. It’s what makes the experience of reading better, in my opinion. I like to be able to feel and connect to the story. I love the world Eliah builds. It’s complicated, messy, but realistic. It’s as if I can picture myself there and experiencing the same thing. Everything is tied together. I enjoyed the ending; it made sense. With everything that Finn and Dia went through, a lot of it their own making, they still had the happily ever after they deserved. It may not have been perfect, but it was perfect for them.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Beautiful apologies don’t heal ugly wounds, and forgiveness can’t be earned with pretty words. It’s clear that things will never be the same between us, but maybe an apology is the first step to a wound becoming a scar.

The BEST duet I'll ever read
If you've ever read any book by Eliah Greenwood, you already know that every book she publishes is a MASTERPIECE, but even I was surprised by how much I LOVED this book (and it's first part of the duet too). This duet ("Dear Heart, I Hate You" and "Dear Heart, I Miss You") is probably the best one I'll ever read.NoeliaThe BEST duet I'll ever read
Reviewed in Spain on November 18, 2024
I firstly started this series with "Dear Love, I hate you" which was extremly cute, plus it had some spicy scenes. I loved it so much that I bought "Dear Heart, I Hate You" and omg... I wasn't expecting this to be so addicting. Then, I bought "Dear Heart, I Miss You" and I'm just gonna say... If there were a HUNDRED books about Finn and Dia, I'd somehow manage to buy them all. It was such a good story.
With these two I've cried so much (and I'm always told that I never cry with any books), I've loved the couple they make and every single scene with them both. This story had the perfect combination of love scenes, emotional (happy and sad) scenes and spicy scenes.
Another thing, I LOVED the character development of BOTH main characters. Both Finn and Dia had a huge character development over the two books but specifically this one was... WOW. Finn turned out to be such a sweetheart, yet he still conserved his personality, whereas Dia became more bold and then also sweet.
If you are thinking of getting this book, let me tell you, the ONLY problem I have with this duet is that I finished it and there are no more books. So, that should let you know how amazing and adictive this is. Hoping Eliah Greenwood can give them a third book in the future cause I honestly can't get enough of these two lovebirds. <3
