3.5
This is the story of an author and how she finds inspiration by meeting a group of people called the Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. The story is told in letters.
Honestly, this book was okay. It was a little confusing to follow all the characters through their letters, but each character was interesting to read and had a big personality. I liked hearing their perspectives on the events of WWII. It was, however, a little dull, and I found it hard to be onboard with the romance when your only understanding of it was through biased letters. I also thought the ending was a little too tidy, and yet still not satisfying.
PG
