The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society Update 1

In The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, the first couple of the months of the book are somewhat hard for me to follow. The story seems all over the place emotion-wise. It was really sad reading about Juliet’s life, standing her fiancĂ© up at the altar, her parents dying in an auto accident, and her uncle ignoring her until she went out to boarding school. It was also sad reading about the lives of the people on Guernsey. Like how Eben Ramsay was set to take care of Eli after Eli’s relatives had passed. I was pretty happy when the more enlightening parts of the book came in. For example, it was nice knowing that when Juliet had finally left her uncle to go to boarding school, she had thrived and met Sophie and Sydney. Also, I’m unsure where Mark and Juliet’s relationship will go to next, because even though Juliet doesn’t know a lot about Mark, she still pursues him and goes on dates with him, which, to me, seems fishy.
This is the island of Guernsey, where the Potato Peel Society resides.
