Amazing series a must read, one u won’t be able to put down!!!
Loved this book. Great characters, hard subject but handled very nicely.
Love every minute of this read!
Honestly, it was just as enchanting, moving, and heartbreaking as the film…and that’s saying something because Hollywood does not always get it right!
I had high hopes for this one after my love affair with the film. I mean, I couldn’t really see it being any better than it already was, but feeling the magic of the story, the connection of the characters, and weight of decisions made long ago by those that would forever stand firm…why, it was like reading a play by play of the theatrical production and yet still something more. Author Jojo Moyes does a wonderful job of giving the everything such intense emotional depth. When I read this one, it was so long after the storm-that-shall-not-be-named paused by rabid reading appetite. My mood had been down, life certainly not as rosy, but I actually laughed out loud when I was reading this one…most unexpectedly. There’s a scene on page 67 that’s really of no big consequence, but it just struck me as immensely funny and I just started laughing…it was my first since the storm, and a moment I won’t forget. If you have a copy of this one, turn to that page and have yourself a giggle. Go ahead…
For fans of the author, this is definitely a book for you. For fans of the film, run out right now and grab yourself a copy. For newbies to this author’s work, do yourself the favor and get acquainted because the heart that beats here is true, the feelings more complicated than you’d expect, and the outcome so much greater than the painful loss endured. Oh yes, there will be tears, but there is still the potential for love to come again.
