Review: To be honest, I only picked up this book because I love the movie version of it. The movie is so amazing and I assumed I would love the book as well.
I did enjoy the book; however, I definitely feel that I preferred the movie to it. This was due to the fact that it's in letter format and we really only get Juliet's point of view and I would have loved to see more things from Dawsey's side of things. I have never read a book in letter format and it was something that made this book fun and unique. I think the letter format is really important to this story and shows a lot.
Although like I mentioned earlier I just really preferred the movie. As a big fan of the story and Juliet's story, I still really enjoyed this book.
I also don't typically gravitate towards historical fiction, but like I mentioned, I loved this story and all the characters within it from the movie, so I was more than willing to give the book a go.
