The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Overall I thought this was cute. I didn't love the letters format at first - made me think of 84 Charing Cross Road, which I loved and thought was wonderful - but it grew on me as the book went. My only absolute-disliking section was when Juliet was contemplating marrying that creepy Mark Reynolds who wouldn't take no for an answer and obviously wanted to "control his woman" and to that I'm like, GIRL. You do not need a man that's gonna do that! Didn't think there was the best distinction between some of the letter writers, but I also had never heard of the Channel islands before, nor knew their involvement in WWII, so I'm glad I read and learned something. The bits about Elizabeth and Remy in Ravensbruck were harrowing and heartbreaking, and I'm glad the author(s) didn't shy away from the war story, as this could have easily veered into being twee.
