How can you write a review for a book that put perpetual smile on your face for 277 pages??
Definition of “supremely-enjoyable-while-reading” kind of book for me: so delightful, real funny and warm.
Five long years since I first put this on my tbr shelf, should have read it a lot sooner...
rating: ★★★★½

Me, too, Lainey. I think of it often, too. Probably a good time for a re-read!
Glad you got a winner, love <3 xx
Thanks Alex dear. Yesss a winner for sure 💗

Lainey, did you ever think you'd say the words "sexy pig farmer" in the same sentence??
I had this book on my kindle for over a year. I thought the title was so cutesy wutsey. (which it is!)
Julie wrote: "Lainey, did you ever think you'd say the words "sexy pig farmer" in the same sentence??"O m g NO WAY Julie!! I was shocked when I thought about it (which happened later when I already finished the book!). I’m not always self-aware you might say. Hahaha
@Rebekah - ooh same! I love it more now when I have already read the book itself. I’m glad you loved it too ❤️

The voices are so beautiful, and I am moved in places I was not in the book. when we come to THAT letter, I know I am going to be a mess, and will probably have to pull over and stop driving.
Fantastic, Lainey! Loved this book and these characters.
You just reminded me that I want to read this book...nice review, Lainey!
This sounds great though books written using letter exchange format aren't the sort I enjoy...will put it on my list anyway :)
So yes, I did read it and enjoyed it so much. The movie seems so lightweight compared to the book which really hit me harder with how the people of the island were treated. 💕
