A review by allie_hilleson
Dearest Josephine by Caroline George

emotional hopeful mysterious slow-paced
  • Loveable characters? Yes

Told through emails, texts, and letters, Dearest Josephine is the story of a girl who finds centuries old letters written to a girl with her name.

I liked how book deals with themes of family problems,  friendship reconciliation, communication, and falling in love without really knowing a person.

It is very clean: only a couple short kisses and almost no language. The word for an illegitimate son is used a lot in the historical portion of the story which initially took me off guard.

I liked the characters, the story, and—to my surprise—the letter writing format.
