A review by grace_hepworth
Dear Mrs Bird by A.J. Pearce
3.0
I would say I liked this book, but I didn’t love it.
I never felt overly invested in the characters or their lives which meant I wasn’t fully sucked in to the story.
I appreciated hearing from the point of view of someone in London during the Blitz and the idea that people carried on trying to live their lives as normally as possible seemed crazy to me! But then, what else do you do I suppose?
I found the end uplifting but it wasn’t enough to save the rest of the book for me, which is why I went for 3 stars. Definitely not a bad book, just not one I necessarily gelled with.
