A review by happi_mess
84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff
2.0
The story begins with Helen writing to a bookstore in UK about getting copies of hard to find books in the U.S. This is a collection of correspondence between the bookstore and Helen over the years.
This was cute. I just recently watched this from a yt video and thought I would give myself a good cry or just like a sobbing moment. Unfortunately it did not come for me, however this story remains heartwarming and sad towards the end. It hit me like a whiplash.
Helen was a funny person. I was just cracking up at moments that I didn't expect that I would. I could definitely picture myself as her in the future just flipping through libraries around the world looking for copies of out of print books. (Dear God I hope this is my future).
I have always wanted a pen pal but don't know where to get started. I would love to write letters as well but the post office in this country is not the best in the world so I don't know. HAHA.
All in all, it was quick short read, light and touching.
