guernsey

I'm on a roll with reading this summer!  I'm actually finishing books!  It's about the only thing that keeps me sane sometimes.

Anyway.

While we were on vacation in May, I finished off The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows.  It's set in post-WWII England and on the island of Guernsey.  The main character, Juliet, is a journalist who randomly gets in touch with a Guernsey resident and instantly becomes intrigued with his story about this society and its members while the island was occupied by Nazi Germany.

I liked being transported to Guernsey.  I liked the characters.  I really enjoyed reading this ... but I left wanting more.

Has anyone else read it and had a differing opinion?
