filmingpages 's review for:
Dearest Josephine
by Caroline George
Thank you Harper360ya for a free copy of this ebook, in exchange with an honest review!
This was one of the fastest reads I've had in a while, and it was exactly what I needed to relax and spend 2 amazing days off at home! I was reading it constantly, playing some classical music on the background and it was such a lovely experience!
I loved the format, because the emails, texts and letters all made the plot so direct, like it was happening right in front of my eyes! Another favourite element of this book for me, was the friendship between Faith and Josie, even though they were miles apart you could really feel that they shared a strong bond and friendships in books are always so heartwarming!
Elias's chapters were very interesting as well, mostly because I loved how he wrote and the expressions he used. He painted such a brilliant image of Josephine, that she ended up being my favourite character, even though she wasn't as much of a prominent character as the others. One thing that kind of bothered me though, was that even though Elias was constantly expressing his love for her, he did absolutely nothing to pursue her. He ended up settling for someone else, which for me is a show of cowardice on his part.
Something else I really wanted to comment on is that I didn't really see Josie falling in love with Elias. I do understand how she must have felt discovering that many similarities with Josephine, but other than that, her sentiments towards his didn't really feel genuine.
Overall, I did enjoy reading this book, it was a very relaxing read with a nice writing style, a book that will definitely keep you company on a cold winter weekend!
