Dearest Josephine by Caroline George
3.0

This was an interesting read, told in many different ways, letters, emails, texts and a novel manuscript were among the ways used to propel the story forward.

Our main plot is set in 2020 with Josie De Clare going to her family's secluded manor house after having a teen life crisis with the passing of her father, we mostly see her plot being told through texts and emails to her best friend Faith, and, boy next door Oliver.

Meanwhile, we have letters written by Eliash Roch in 1920 to his "Dearest Josephine" who also happens to share the same last name as Josie. Josephine was a mysterious woman Elias met at a masquerade, and thus, he fully fell head over heels for her.

I loved the use of the time crossed lovers trope. However, the story was somewhat confusing.
