babes, I just watched this movie on Netflix and I am forever changed as a person. 

You know how every person has that one movie/book that they watch over and over again, and you associate it with them forever? For my mom and all her siblings, that movie/book is The Princess Bride. They constantly quote it (it’s actually quite scary when they all get together, they could literally perform the movie on the spot), and so it’s definitely shaped the lens I view them through.

Well for me, that movie/book is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Or at least, it will be from now on. This is MY STORY, y’all. I can’t recall any other movie that has gotten such a reaction out of me. It was beautiful, heart-wrenching, funny, insightful, romantic, and just everything I look for in a good story. (NOT TO MENTION THE INCREDIBLE CAST, OML!)

I am currently reading the book (which by the way is written as a series of letters, so cool!) and listening to the movie soundtrack at the same time. I’m just so in love, guys.

I don’t know how my sister puts up with me...

NO NO NO do NOT describe it as a “Romantic Drama”. Yes it definitely has romance in it but that is really not the important aspect of it, the occupation and Elizabeth are the two most important things.

And Dawsey is SO MUCH MORE than just Juliet’s love interest! 

I swear to god I’m going to be so angry if they make this film too focused on that romance. I love the relationship between Juliet and Dawsey but there are much more interesting relationships such as her friendship with Sidney, Elizabeth’s relationship with Christian and her friendship with Remy.
