Comfort book all the way!! I want the calming descriptions of Guernsey, Elisabeth's cottage and wildflower meadow, and the sea etched into my heart. It feeds my hopeless romantic cottagecore soul and makes me ache for a  home the same Juliet discovered in these pages. It's a story about the aftermath of war, the scars it left, community, orphans, families (especially found), shy love, homes, and finding your home.
