I’m in the minority because I did not love The Correspondent or find it heartwarming or uplifting. Maybe Sybil’s narrator was too good in conveying Sybil’s arrogance, haughtiness and general annoyance for the first half of the story because I had a hard time fully embracing Sybil’s redemption arc and softening later on. I chose the book because of how many comparisons I saw to Remarkably Bright Creatures, which I absolutely loved, but for me The Correspondent did not evoke the same warmth, humor, connectedness or endearing nature as RBC. I’m glad other people genuinely enjoy this book but unfortunately I was not one of them.
