Dearest Josephine is absolutely delightful. The narrator did a lovely job. The characters are charming and the plot was completely captivating.

I loved this audiobook! I was afraid it wouldn’t translate well in an audio format because of the clever premise of the novel - the entire story is told via emails and text messages and excerpts of conversations - but I was pleasantly surprised.  The story is sweet and romantic, but not sappy or overly written. I loved the characters and was easily able to overlook small errors that briefly distracted me here and there. 
I actually would love to see the print edition - I’m sure it’s charming and fun to read (but I really liked this narrator ... except maybe her exaggerated NY accent 😉)
I think all of my students will be looking for their “Elias” after reading or listening to Dearest  Josephine. I’m a sucker for the happy ending, tied up with a bow, and this one left me with a happy sigh of contentment.

I really enjoyed this novel with two time lines. Angsty Elias writes letters to Josephine in the 1800’s while Josephine reads letters from Elias in the present day. There are many sad moments, but there are also sweet moments in the novel. The side stories with Lorelei and Oliver add another wholesome layer to the novel. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to be an early reader in exchange for my review.
