February 25, 2018 - The Letter (Meriah’s Pick) Meeting Minutes

Discussion:
Meriah - Loved it! It kept my attention. Loved the back and forth between the two stories. Feel like I’m really learning my British now. Like how she writes. Recommended already. 4/5
Julie - Frustrated that facts were given away too quickly. Just okay. Already recommended. 3.5/5
Jocelyn – This was a fast-paced read. I liked the jumping back and forth between stories. I preferred the Billy story overall. Felt like it was somewhat predictable at times. 3/5
Ali - Liked it overall. Hated Tina’s character. I finally guessed a true prediction!! Loved the Irish crew. Intrigued the whole time. Already recommended. 4/5
Maren - I was disappointed. Didn’t really like the characters. I hate cheesy love stories. Would not recommend. 2.5/5

Favorite Characters:
Meriah - ? Julie -Graham
Jocelyn – William, Jackie and Grace
Ali -Jackie and Linda
