Summary
It's 1946 and author Juliet Ashton can't think what to write next. Out of the blue, she receives a letter from Dawsey Adams of Guernsey - by chance, he's acquired a book that once belonged to her - and, spurred on by their mutual love of reading, they begin a correspondence. When Dawsey reveals that he is a member of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, her curiosity is piqued and it's not long before she begins to hear from other members. As letters fly back and forth with stories of life in Guernsey under the German Occupation, Juliet soon realizes that the society is every bit as extraordinary as its name.
My Thoughts
I can't even begin to explain how much I loved this book! It is now a new favorite of mine!
I picked this book up after watching one of my favorite Booktubers videos. She was recommending books to read in an uncertain time. Basically, books that make you feel good inside. I got this book at the library because I didn't want to buy a copy when I wasn't sure if I would actually like it.
When I picked it up the first time and realized it was written in letters, I honestly didn't think I was going to like it at all. I kept on just in case and, boy am I glad I did! I fell in love! I immediately ordered a copy for myself! I NEEDED to own it!
I am so thankful that I picked this book up. It is now one of my very favorite books!
