This is the second book in a series, i believe. My bad for not knowing that. But anyway I rally liked this book. The Main characters were relatable and It is always interesting to read about the english patriotism during ww2. Thank you to netgalley for letting me read this e arc in exchange for an honest opinion

Another brilliant book by Rosie Archer with great characters that draw you into the story making you feel there by their side.5*

This was a very enjoyable WWII read set in Gosport, England and centered around the characters in the Criterion Picture House. Connie Baxter had been promoted to head usherette after her friend, Queenie, had to stay home with the imminent birth of her twins. That birth itself is fraught with difficulties and Connie has to find medical help during a bombing, saving Queenie’s life. The book conveys well the WWII atmosphere of wartime bombings of the city, the work of the Air Raid Precautions (ARP) units and how everyday residents had to hurry to shelters to save their lives. One character, Tom, a local dance instructor, joins ARP and is heavily involved in saving lives. The close communities of the picture house, Gertie’s home where Connie resided after her own home was destroyed and her mother killed, and the local ARP are well-portrayed and full of human warmth despite obstacles.

There are many twists and turns of plot in the book including Connie’s relationship with fiance Ace, who turns out to be unreliable personally and begins a relationship with Gertie’s daughter Marlene. Ace also is revealed to be a shady character. All of these story events kept my interest and gave a good flavor of the fraught wartime era.

I very much enjoyed the book (thanks to #netgalley, and hope the author will write a sequel.

Another brilliant wartime tale by Rosie Archer. Lovers of WW2 will love it

Thanks to #NetGalley for the advance copy in return for an honest review

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. Sometimes a good old fashioned feel good read ticks the boxes. Great storyline, great characters. I really enjoyed it.

Requested book as I have read the author before and I was delighted when I realised we were catching up with the brilliant characters and storyline from the first in the series, loved catching up with Connie, Queenie and the rest of the gang at the picture house and again the storyline was as good as the first time round, I seriously hope I get the chance to read the next in the series as I need to know what follows for Connie and co
Brilliant writing by one of my now favourite authors
Highly recommended if you like historical and romantic storylines

I didn't realise that this was the second book, so it took me a little time to get into the story and the what was happening and who was how.

For me this book was more light drama and a lot of romantic troubles then a WWII drama. It was a quick light read.

I'll be seeing you is a gripping tale set in the early WW11. With multiple storyline that seamlessly meld together to form one breath-taking story.

The characters are well written and believable and the story moves at a fast but steady pace.

Well worth checking out

I initially chose I'll Be Seeing You by Rosie Archer based on the description which sounded a little like a Mary Wesley book.

To be honest I'll Be Seeing You was more Enid Blyton than Mary Wesley, not necessarily a bad thing as they are two of my favourite authors, unfortunately it was a little cheesy for me though, not much character development, not much of a story and all very predictable.

Again, not necessarily a bad thing, I expect it's exactly what her readers want and like, but as a cynical 56 year old man who's not the most romantic I don't think I am really Rosie Archers target market.

Saying that, it was a pleasant enough read, it kept my attention, it gave you that heartwarming feeling and although there wasn't that much character development the main characters were likeable enough to make you want to read more. Plus the fact I read it in less than 2 days has to be a good sign.

Well this saga was heartwarming and lively. I felt like I was living the story with them.hope it's a series because it would be great

Hope this is going to be a new series loved the characters. Set in ww2 this is a great family saga with the insight into the war years. I centres around a picture house and the people who kept it going through the tough times.
Highly recommended

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of one of my favourite authors. If you love family saga world war books this is definitely for you. In Rosies books I always feel like I am actually in the book as one fo the characters. So true to life just brilliant
