I almost didn't read this book because of the title, I tend not to like books with cutesy titles, someone whole opinion I respected told me to read it and I'm glad she did, this is one of those books with unforgettable characters. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society was formed when some of the Guernsey Island residents were caught out late one night after curfew by the Germans occupying the island and thus this book club is formed and it isn't until the war is done and a chance letter from one of the residents to Juliet because he found her name in a copy of poems by Charles Lamb. You will laugh and you will cry and sometimes you will do both but you won't forget this book.
