This book is beautiful and deeply cathartic. Do not read this if you value your sleep. You will not be able to put it down. Jojo Moyes has a way of writing characters and devising plot so even when you put the book down, all you can think about is her story. I finished this book a day ago and I still can’t stop thinking about it. 

I feel this way about Someone Else’s Shoes. I can’t wait to read all of her books.

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.

This book was beautiful. It was beautifully written, everything. I’d already seen the movie about a dozen times, so I wanted to try the book. As most people say, “The book is usually better.” That is an understatement here. If you haven’t read this book, you are seriously missing out.
