À propos de ce contenu audio

 Perfect for fans of Morgan Matson and Ruta Sepetys, this sweet, summery romance set in Nantucket follows seventeen-year-old Abby Schoenberg as she uncovers a secret about her grandmother's life during WWII.

Seventeen-year-old Abby Schoenberg isn't exactly looking forward to the summer before her senior year. She's just broken up with her first boyfriend and her friends are all off in different, exciting directions for the next three months. Abby needs a plan--an adventure of her own. Enter: the letters.

They show up one rainy day along with the rest of Abby's recently deceased grandmother's possessions. And these aren't any old letters; they're love letters. Love letters from a mystery man named Edward. Love letters from a mansion on Nantucket. Abby doesn't know much about her grandmother's past. She knows she was born in Germany and moved to the US when she was five, fleeing the Holocaust. But the details are either hazy or nonexistent; and these letters depict a life that is a bit different than the quiet one Abby knows about.

And so, Abby heads to Nantucket for the summer to learn more about her grandmother and the secrets she kept. But when she meets Edward's handsome grandson, who wants to stop her from investigating, things get complicated. As Abby and Noah grow closer, the mysteries in their families deepen, and they discover that they both have to accept the burdens of their pasts if they want the kinds of futures they've always imagined.

    While I enjoyed the premise of the book and thought it was well-written, I did not enjoy it as much as I had hoped I would. I even concluded the letters were almost useless past a certain point (which was what the book was based on, so...).
    In my opinion, the adult characters were all annoying and the protagonist never explained entirely why it was so important for her to chase after her grandmother's legacy. Her love interest might have been cute to look at but I found him infuriating after a while. The main character was fun sometimes yet also quite juvenile in her reactions (she was 17 though) and it ended up irritating me.
    The most interesting part was the WWII references for sure. The romance was a little too cheesy for me too and I'm sorry to say I cringed a few times. The narration saved the story for me, otherwise I don't think I would've stuck with it in the long run.
