Today Chelsey and Sara are discussing 84 Charing Cross Road by Helen Hanff, the ultimate comfort read for bibliophiles. Chelsey can\\u2019t believe she hadn\\u2019t read it sooner, and Sara revels in her rereading experience. We cover everything from the epistolary form to Helene\\u2019s unique reading habits to the satisfaction of a bittersweet ending. Plus, as always, we\\u2019re recommending six contemporary books to pair with our classic, with a mix of charming memoir and plucky historical fiction.
