Easily became one of my favourite books! I loved the exploration of a character whom the main character never even meets, and learning more about the German occupation of the British Isles.

Comfort book all the way!! I want the calming descriptions of Guernsey, Elisabeth's cottage and wildflower meadow, and the sea etched into my heart. It feeds my hopeless romantic cottagecore soul and makes me ache for a  home the same Juliet discovered in these pages. It's a story about the aftermath of war, the scars it left, community, orphans, families (especially found), shy love, homes, and finding your home.

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.
