My favorite book of all time. This is the 4th time I’ve read it and I still love it so much and pick up new things every reread. 

A time travel thriller, with romance and historical fiction. What’s not to love? It’s got so much heart, but also it’s just so much fun to read. I think it’s SK’s masterpiece and his storytelling is on a league all on its own. Every person I’ve convinced to read this has moved it to the top of their favorites. It’s absolutely brilliant!

I never thought I would say this about a Stephen King book. 

IT WAS AMAZING! 

I have avoided reading Stephen King because I do not like scary stuff. 

This book is NOT SCARY!

I was told by a friend that I would be hooked by the first page, and she was right. All 849 pages were SO GOOD!

It took me all 30 hours of plane rides to and from Hawaii to finish reading it. I just couldn't put it down!

SO GOOD! EVERY PAGE! EVERY PLOT TWIST! EVERY SUB PLOT! SO SO GOOD!

This was my first Stephen King book and the writing style did not disappoint, but damn… I picked a big one. The book was very long and the pace was very slow at points, which made it feel even longer. This was not always the case and then i was at the edge of my seat unable to stop reading. The book was very atmospheric and because it was on the longer side,  I really felt the vibe of that time period.

The ending was very bittersweet. I wanted to toss the book across the room, but also couldn’t stop reading. I love that they reunited again in the end 😭
