Dear Mr. Knightley by Katherine Reay

5.0

I loved this book so much that I stuck it straight into my 'I will re-read this' pile.
The book is a contemporary romance, written as a series of letters from Sam to 'Mr. Knightley' her mysterious benefactor who paid for her to study journalism. I loved the characters and wanted to spend more time with them. The book had more grit to it than I expected from the cover. I guessed the 'who' of the ending (but not the 'how') but that in no way took away from my enjoyment of the story.
The main character Sam hides behind her books and their characters. This was something my teenage self would have really identified with. Thank God he sets us free to be ourselves without fear.
