The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

i genuinely think this is one of the only few western WWII era books worth reading (this and the lovely war, but i have to reread it now that i have really developed my taste)

a lot of people complained about the epistolary format, but i really enjoyed it. i would have absolutely hated to have read this book from any one character's point of view (especially juliet's), so being able to hear every character speak about their experiences during the occupation of guernsey on top of modern day events of trying to find out about elizabeth and take care of her child was made much more interesting

lots of extraneous stuff, though. nothing regarding juliet and her various romances was worth however much page space was wasted on it
