Review: Dear Mr. Knightley by Katherine Reay

Publication Date: November 12, 2013

My rating: ★★★★

I loved this book! 💖 For some reason, the letter writing format of this book made me nostalgic. I read a lot of letter/chat books (the TTYL series, anyone?) when I was younger so that in itself made me v happy.

I was impressed with all the Jane Austen references...though I admittedly didn't fully understand them all. I'm a huge reader but I don't read classics that much. It was nice to hear Sam's perspective in her letters throughout the book and see her connect with people who finally understand her (of course going through some duds first!) 

There were some subtle mentions of God and faith in this book, which I loved! I liked that Sam touched on her faith here and there, and we got to see her grow in that aspect. I have to say the ending felt a bit random, for lack of a better word. It seemed a little abrupt BUT I'm glad it ended the way it did. 4 stars for this one!
