What is summer break without a good book or two to occupy your sun filled days? On our trip to California, I knew I could count on Alyssa to bring along some excellent books and she didn't disappoint me. I quickly fell in love with The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Historical fiction from post World War II and written in letter format, I was quickly sucked in with the quirky characters and funny dialogue. One minute I was laughing and chuckling, the next I was trying not to cry out loud at the sadness and human atrocities that occurred during the Nazi reign of terror. I felt a sense of urgency to get this book read so that it could be returned to Alyssa's roommate when we returned. It is an easy read with no F bombs being dropped every other sentence - what a welcome relief from the many books out there with yucky language.
Read this book!
Immediately!
You'll be soooo glad you did!

I'm going to read it. Thanks for the recommendation! I love books that toy with the emotions--keeps it interesting.
I loved this book, too! I love a good summer read!
After this book, I got on a WWII kick...The Book Thief and Sarah's Key are both good reads, too.
Glad you found a good book to enjoy over the summer :)
