Dearest Josephine
by Caroline George
2.5 stars
I wish I could like this book more. It was very promising and it started in a very intriguing way but then it dragged for a long while and only started picking up its pace again right before the end.
The characters sounded very obnoxious (I can’t tell if this was the way they were written or if it was the narrator or something else) and they didn’t get much better by the end (although there was an improvement). The end itself that I keep talking about, however, was pretty good and redeemed the dragging part of the story for the most part. But the characters and the inaccuracies of some scenes set in the past lowered the final rating.
I’d say this is a book better enjoyed in the written format because listening to an epistolary novel on audiobook took a while to get used to.
I received an audio copy of this book via NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own
