Phew, thought I was the only one for a while! Have now finished it & really enjoyed it, was quite sad when it finished. Will definitely read it again now.

Loved it - really gentle, witty, carefully constructed story (not the sort of thing i normally go for!)

Avoided it for ages as I thought it would be too twee - actually really liked the tone.

Excellent

I really enjoyed it. I did think that it was slightly on the chicklitty side and could guess the ending almost from the first page but it was a jolly good holiday read. I knew hardly anything about the German occupation of the Channel Islands before reading it and found that fascinating.

I enjoyed this as well. It's light/readable but not trashy
