A review by cloudedreads
Yours from the Tower by Sally Nicholls

funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

4.5

I am a big fan of epistolary novels, and as such, was intrigued when I saw an audio book version of one - both excited to try something new and a bit concerned that the format might make it hard to keep up with the details, of who is writing to whom and when and where. Well, I needn’t have worried - having multiple narrators with distinct accents and way of portraying characters made this an extremely enjoyable experience.
 
The story follows three childhood / school friends - Tirzah, Sophia and Polly - who, after having finished school, find themselves starting adult lives far from one another. As girls deal with trying to become independent while still being tightly connected with their families, they decide to keep one another posted (pun intended) on the newest developments in their personal lives. 
 
While this book was pitched as drama and gossip filled (so called Bridgerton-like), I was happy to find it much more genuine and cozy than the aforementioned show. Maybe the ending was too “happily ever after”, but I didn’t care about that, really - I was here to have a good time, and this book delivered.
 
I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a short and lighthearted (for the most part) historical romance - grab this book and get ready for a fun listening experience!
 
I received an advance review copy from Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
