Picked this up because I watched the movie and absolutely love it. Moyes does a fantastic job creating characters that you immediately route for, flaws and all.

Having watched the movie, I knew the tragedy that was waiting for me at the end of the book but somehow I was so swept up in the story, I found myself holding out hope that this would be a happy ending.

I loved Moyes's almost comical writing style and immediately reached for book 2. Spoiler alert: this is a trilogy!

I enjoyed this book. I often don't when I've watched a film first as I spend too long comparing. But this book was beautifully written, and I felt the occasional mix of perspective helped develop the story. I hadn't realised there was a second book, but I'm hoping we get more of Ritchie.

While there is a whole conversation to have about the topics this book involves, the book in itself just feels poorly written. There's no captivating element. The characters are all dislikeable, and the writing isn't moving at all, even when it tries.
