holsarmstrong 's review for:
Dearest Josephine
by Caroline George
I desperately wanted to like this book, especially because the structure of how it is written is my favourite: mostly through letters, emails etc. But something just didn't work for me in this book and I'm trying to figure out what exactly it is.
- First of all, I will give Caroline props for her writing. She knows how to write a good book and I think the premise was really good but I think the overwhelming feeling I had towards the characters was a disappointment.
- Everything was so insta-love and I hated it. I don't ever get books that make their characters fall in love in a click. It's not realistic and Elias isn't even from this century.
- Which brings me onto the other thing, I didn't like any of the characters. Not one. They were either one dimensional or just incredibly annoying.
Overall, a sweet premise with a lack of flair and substance. I wanted to like this book and I just couldn't get through it without cringing.
I received this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
