Dearest Josephine
by Caroline George
After the death of her father, Josie discovers that he owned a fixer-upper manor house in Northern England and goes there to check it out. While renovating, she finds a manuscript and a stack of 200-year-old love letters written to...her. Intrigued, she reads the letters written by Elias, owner of the house during the Regency period, and becomes torn between a love in a time long gone and the present day.
This was a charming story and a fast, easy read. The book switched between time periods, writing styles, and narrators. It’s an epistolary novel told through emails, letters, text messages, and a manuscript. I liked Josie and the rest of the characters, and the story provided a sweet reminder not to take the present for granted.
Overall, this was a sweet, quick read that would be perfect to squeeze in between heavier books. I don’t often read young adult novels, but I think fans of Lara Jean/To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before might like this one— I actually liked this YA story better!
Also, how pretty is this cover?!
