Title: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society


Authors: Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows


Short summary: This book is written all in letters. It revolves around the lives of Guernsey folk, most of whom are involved in the Society. 


Time/Place: 1940s England (island of Guernsey) 


Action: none really, some bits about WW2


Good mood read: most definitely 


Twist at the end: somewhat in that I didn't expect it to end in the amazing way that it did 


~ Happy, could not put down, easy read. 


I wish I could put into words how completely awesome this book is. I missed the characters when I completed the book. I wished I was there in the background to watch the story progress. I wish Shaffer had written another book! I wish it was longer. I really just need to read it once a year, maybe around Christmas. 


There are only a few books that stick with you, and this is one of those slices of heaven.
