Dearest Josephine
by Caroline George
Dearest Josephine by Caroline George follows Josie in 2020 who when her father’s will reveals a family-owned property in Northern England, Josie leaves London to find clarity at the secluded manor house. While exploring the estate, she discovers two-hundred-year-old love letters written by an elusive novelist, all addressed to someone named Josephine. And then she discovers a novel in which it seems like she’s the heroine. Meanwhile in 1820, novelist Elias Roch loves a woman he can never be with. Born the bastard son to a nobleman and cast out from society, Elias seeks refuge in his mind with the quirky heroine who draws him into a fantasy world of scandal, betrayal, and unconditional love. Convinced she’s his soulmate, Elias writes letters to her, all of which divulge the tragedy and trials of his personal life.
This book was a little slow at first for me but I quickly got invested in the several timelines and was curious to see how it would all turn out. The modern timeline takes place through emails and text messages which made it a little harder for me to get invested in that time period. Overall, this was a very fun twist on a historical YA novel.
I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
