Reviews with content warning for Miscarriage - The Light Between Oceans

I found myself getting really annoyed with Izzy and really disliking her due to how much she blamed Tom for everything when in reality most of it was Izzys fault.
However I was devastated everytime she miscarried and had her baby stillborn. I was also sad when it come to Lucy leaving them. But still really disliked Izzy

This book really got me in the end. I couldn’t put it down once I got to Part 3 and I was an emotional wreck by the end! A heart wrenching story that evoked really strong, conflicting feelings as I read! Didn’t get 5 stars only because I was often frustrated with the characters, but ultimately felt for all of them and was really effected by the ending.
