definitely in the minority with my feelings on this one and i think its because im realising epistolary stories just arent for me.
its a little ironic because, in one letter, juliets publisher says ‘ive read your chapters and they wont do. strings of anecdotes dont make a book.’ and thats all this book is! its full of letters with anecdotes.
i do like that i learned about the island of guernsey, i appreciate the different perspective of WWII, and i LOVE the adoration for books (so many good quotes!), but i cant get over the fact that letters only tell, they dont show, which is what i personally need from storytelling.
i wish i could have gotten more out of this but i guess im not a letter person.
↠ 3 stars
