I read the book after I fell in love with the Netflix production. I was surprised that the format of the book is a collection of letters. I've never read a book with this kind of format and I have to say that I loved it more than I thought I would. I think it really enhanced the romantic feel of the story. I love all the characters so much and I love the plot even more. Found family stories really, really get me emotional and the added bonus of this being a love story makes it even better! 5/5 would recommend it to anyone who loves historical romance or books about books.
