The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

For the most part, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society was very well-liked.  Some highlights of our discussion:

• Easy Read
• Liked letter format, but hard to get into for some people
• Had to write down characters’ names to keep them all straight
• Some didn’t like Juliet, thought she was fake and/or trying too hard (hiding behind her writing – hard to know who she really was)
• Hard to believe how perfectly everything fell into place (like the end of Cold Comfort Farm), and how much everyone loved Juliet immediately
• Good balance between fluff & serious
• Relationship with Mark reynolds seemed like a mis-match
• You don’t get any descriptions of the Guernsey people until Juliet goes there
• Mark Reynolds – love him or hate him?
