Nothing revolutionary in how various topics are handled or how storylines play out, but a very enjoyable read. Many characters but for the most part they manage to feel reasonably well-developed.

Having read other Jojo Moyes, I was ready for high emotions and strong female characters and man oh man do you get both. The way she describes raw emotion really pulls you in and you can’t help but feel as the characters do. Be prepared to feel every feeling there is and love every second.

Moves along. Didn’t find a lot of things to ponder or that I wanted to write down. 

Didn’t seem consistent with Fred’s character or prior statements that he and Alice didn’t wait until they were married, especially considering the era. 

Parts were pretty predictable. Like the annulment.
