My favourite book

Door de titel dacht ik dat het een typisch oppervlakkige zomerroman ging zijn, maar niets is minder waar. Kheb echt veel moeten lachen en de laatste 40 pagina’s heb ik nonstop zitten huilen (kwam misschien ook door men blijtmuziek haha) het is zo goed geschreven dat je echt elke emotie gaat begrijpen, kweenie het heeft mij echt geraakt, en ik denk ook dat dit een boek is dat veel beter is dan de film :))

I am usually good about reading the book before the film, but I will admit that I had seen the film before I read this, and this is one of those rare occasions where I actually think that the film was better. I understand that there is massive amount of hype about this, and although I did rate the book a 4 because this was more than just a love story, and it dealt with some of the key issues in a good way, but overall the book just didn't blow me away as much as I was expecting. Needless to say I am not feeling overpowered to go out and buy the rest of the books in the series as I am quite happy to leave the story there (which is practically unheard of for me!)

3.5

I'm utterly destroyed and I loved every moment in this book.

All I can say is this book wrecked me for a good month where I couldn't read anything. Loved this book from start to finish.

Again, read before the film with loads of ugly crying
emotional funny hopeful sad slow-paced

So, it's me after finished this book:



I'm hysterical bitch! DAMN YOU, WILL TRAYNOR.
I already knew from reviews on goodreads or else that this book is gonna tear you apart. And it's true! I prepared for the worst, and boom... this book is evil. My heart broke into pieces.

The first 200 pages, I was like, "Go Lou! You can do it. Make him change his mind...Oh he is gonna change his mind." and then it was like, "Damn, I can do nothing but crying."

Thank you, Jojo Moyes.
