Though I didn't dislike this book, I wanted to like it more than I did. I read [b:Meet Me in Monaco 40651658 Meet Me in Monaco Hazel Gaynor https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1547148080l/40651658.SY75.jpg 61839194] by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb earlier this year and it was one of my favorite reads of 2022.Over the course of World War I, Evie Elliot exchanges letters with various relatives and friends, mainly Thomas (a family friend), Will (her brother), and her mother. The war unfolds play-by-play through these letters, and relationships strengthen in unimaginable ways. Typically, I enjoy reading letters between characters because it gives them such intimate voices to one another. I guess I also like some descriptions and action thrown into the mix. Had it just been two people back and forth I think it would have made a difference for me. I started losing track of the storylines between the minor characters due to there being so many to follow. Thankfully the characters were darling enough to keep me reading on.
