Comfort book all the way!! I want the calming descriptions of Guernsey, Elisabeth's cottage and wildflower meadow, and the sea etched into my heart. It feeds my hopeless romantic cottagecore soul and makes me ache for a  home the same Juliet discovered in these pages. It's a story about the aftermath of war, the scars it left, community, orphans, families (especially found), shy love, homes, and finding your home.

Honestly, this book is such a fast read, and a lighthearted and sweet one too. I found it easy to fall in love with the characters and they felt very real, which I found expected from this book format. I loved the pacing, the plot and how attached I grew to the characters. I did shed a tear or two and that only made it better.
