Love that never got a reply
If you've ever held something in for too long...
you might find your words here.

This book truly has such life in it, it's so real.
There are so many beautiful moments that felt real, like any and all of those letters could be from real life, that's the beauty of it, it really reflects the world around us that we don't see, or moments from our own life that we don't ever expect to show the world.
❄️°•They say grief gets easier. They lie.
It just gets quieter. Like snow falling on a cemetery•°❄️
I love how some letters remind you that even though those happy core moments are gone and you're grieving them and the people you shared those moments with, you can still remember them and look back with love and happiness. All moments are sacred, and we should never look back on any good moments with sadness or anger, we can look back with a certain amount of appreciation that we were lucky enough to experience those moments with those people. But of course there are times that the grief overtakes and you get consumed with sadness and anger which is completely expected as well.
I really recommend everyone to read this. It's just a little part of life that we should all read🥰
Thank you so much to m.ezzat for sending me this wonderful book, I really reaaally appreciate it! thank you☺️🫶💕

IT WILL BRING TEARS TO YOUR EYES AND HAPPINESS AND JOY TO YOUR HEART
☆☆☆☆☆
Letters I Never Sent : A Collection of Unsent Emotions Across Time by Mohamed Ezzat is one of those rare books you stumble on every so often that will touch you and leaving you thinking not only back on your life but also looking forward towards your future.
This collections of letters are not only well-written but will engage your mind and touch your soul. Mohammed writes with a talent that is true poetry with a voice in his writing which will leave you wanting more.
Usually, I include quotes from the author of the books that I read that have in some way touched me and drew me to share them. This being a short book, I feel if I quoted Mohamed, I would be spoiling this book for other readers.
This is a great book to read, place it on your coffee table for family and guests to pick up and read a few pages or read it from front to back which can be accomplished in a short period of time, take to work to read during your lunch break, or place on your nightstand to read again and again before settling in for a good night's sleep after a tough day.
You will not go wrong taking your time reading this great book.

This is a beautifully written collection of letters, transformed into one impactful message. We live in a time where we take precious moments for granted, leaving a world behind left unspoken. For a short story, this one fills every page with emotion. I felt so connected to every person, feeling myself in their lives. If you need a gentle reminder on the small things of life, and the importance they will have when there’s nothing left, this one is for you.

An intimate, moving read through a collection of letters. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Writing letters is truly a lost art for communication.
There is so much beauty in the written word. An authentic, intimate openness that conveys so many feelings, stories, and messages forever imprinted through fleeting time. Reminding us through changing societies, the human experience and human need for connection is something unchanging. Our experiences are universal.
What intrigued me the most was the first letter from 2095. How the advancement of technology is leading us down the road of lack of literature, lack of original thought, lack of emotion, lack of empathy, and lack of ability to form connections. There’s a very clear picture it paints. It created such a poignant contrast for all of the letters. Leading me to truly appreciate, not just the beautiful stories of the letters, but what they represent to our humanity. Especially since the internet is where most communication, art and literature is being created and left, the physicality of the written word in a letter shouldn’t be taken for granted.
One of my favorites is the letter from Cairo, the unknown writer and recipient and the reply. How the writer describes the little things they admire in the person. The reply being how the she doesn’t see herself that way but she rereads the letters when she is down on herself. It reminds me of that quote that people may love and appreciate things about you but wouldn’t tell you. Unbeknownst to you, you have many secret admirers, whether for your traits, how you make others feel, or the way you go about life. The letters were beautiful admissions that usually go unspoken.
More letters from all over the world, different points in history, and future decades. The letter from Brighton, from Clara, to her lost love, Thomas. The letter from Sam, to his childhood friend, Noah. The letter from Eugene, writing to Lorraine about Dr. King’s speech. Despite the briefness of the letter, it feels like I stepped right into the story, the life, of the writer and recipient. I could feel where they were, physically and emotionally. It didn’t matter if the letter was written 50 years ago or 50 years into the future, emotions and experience are boundless. Even though each letter was from a different person in a different time, I connected to each one, as if the emotions and stories were my own. I felt the joy, the sorrow, the wistful ache, the nostalgia, the grief, the reflection, the regret, the hope and the love.
It’s a short, impactful read where less is so much more. Being able to convey so much emotion, setting and impact in less words is a sign of great writing. You’ll find at least a few letters you connect to, if not all of them. I loved it. Don’t wait to pick this up!

I always love letters. I truly believe letters are the most intimate way to pour out thoughts and feelings into words.
My favorite 3 letters in this book are clear to me, and it's because it was like reading a piece of my mind in someone else's words.
-The very first letter. I find it very magnificent and very, very revolutionary and important, to try and picture a (tbh realistic) future without books and basic humanity. And this letter pictures it in a very terrifying yet possible way.
-Miguel's letter to Sofia. As a doctor, hospitals can be either a beautiful or the most devastating place for someone to be in. We get to see both new lifes and first breaths, and last breaths and sorrow. And it's those last one cases in which we have to turn off our feelings for moments, even days or weeks, to do our job. This letter doesn't lie.
-Rob's letter from Paris. This one I love in a fun way, because that would be a letter my family would receive from me of I ever go back to France.
I'm very grateful to M. Ezzat for sending me his book, I really enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to reed the next ones.

"Letters I Never Sent" is a collection of letters "born from silence - the kind that lives inside us all.”
Esch letter captures an image, conveys the impression of a moment, and brings back a kind of melancholy we didn’t even know we always carried within us. These letters are different from one another but built in the same way: a spatial and temporal reference is all we’re given as a context—sometimes not even the sender's or recipient's names are revealed. All attention is focused on the image the letter evokes, as if suspended in a limbo where we suddenly find ourselves, a world that doesn’t belong to us, yet feels strangely familiar. And so, we find ourselves in an empty classroom, in a old playground, or “down the pier where we used to sit.”
As I mentioned, these are very short, minimalist letters — no word is lacking, and none is superfluous. At first, this brevity almost annoyed me — I wanted more — but as I read on, I learned to appreciate it. Because in a society driven by haste and consumerism, this collection offers the chance to pause and imagine. Simply imagine. Characters, stories, answers to the questions that naturally arise.
I recommend it if you’re looking for a book to sip slowly, something versatile that can fill the time spent on the subway, in line at the post office, or any moment when you feel the need to escape reality.
P.S. My favourite letter was the one to Thomas :)

Letters I Never Sent is one of those rare books that quietly reaches into your heart and stays there long after you’ve finished reading. Every letter feels deeply human full of love, regret, longing, and unspoken truths. M. Ezzat captures emotions that most of us have felt but never had the courage or words to express.
The writing is beautifully intimate. It feels like reading pieces of someone’s soul letters that could easily have been written by you, to people from your own past. I found myself pausing between pages, reflecting on my own memories, and feeling both the ache and the healing in every line.

This is not a book filled with plot twists or narrative arcs. Instead, it is an intimate gathering of voices, each speaking from the margins of relationships, of grief, of longing, and of memory. What Ezzat does so well is make you forget you're reading fiction. The letters feel achingly real, as if plucked from someone's drawer or buried inbox. And perhaps that’s the point. In every letter, you might see yourself as the writer, the recipient, or even as the silence in between.
July 15, 2025
Letters I Never Sent is a quiet masterpiece, one that doesn’t shout, but rather speaks directly to the softest parts of your heart. M. Ezzat has written something extraordinarily tender: a collection of fictional letters that read like real confessions, wrapped in silence and vulnerability.

Thanks to the author, I cried a lot and was very affected by every character in every letter, especially Miguel’s letter, the Cairo letters, and also the letter from the Fresca girl that she is from another planet.
