I love this book! It's filled with love, laughter, joy, sorrow and the trials and tribulations of living in a war-torn time! It's fascinating and uplifting, engaging and enthralling. Everyone, and I mean everyone, should read this compilation of letters between some of the most lovable characters I've met in a book in a long time!!!

I can’t believe I hadn’t read this book before now. Absolutely delightful. Great character development, which is a feat given the format. Highly recommend the audiobook format.
uhmmm...mixed feeling about this one. I love the letter format, but sometimes it's hard to follow who is who and which character is this one, etc. I also can't get Juliet the heroine that well. I love Sydney's character and some of the Guernsey's people, but the ending of the story is just meh for me.

A little gem of a book - written as a series of letters between a London journalist, some friends, and the residents of the island of Guernsey in the years after World War II. Wonderful, quick read - thanks to my sister for recommending it!
At first I was a little put off about reading a book in letter format, but after reading two of the "letters" I was completely sucked in. It was a really interesting look at WWII Occupation.

I was hesitant about this book, but it very quickly drew me in, and I wanted to keep learning more about the characters - all such wonderful people. Highly recommended!
I absolutely loved this book. It took me a while to get used to the letter writing narative, but after the first chapter or so the plot took off smoothly.
Charming and sweet, but not something I feel like people have to read.
