4.5 stars! House swap between Dallas and Berlin? Love it! Especially since I just moved to Dallas! Reminded me of The Holiday - one of my fav movies! Loved this book and the wide cast of characters and how they were all connected! Great family novel!

DID NOT FINISH: 50%

---

Rarely do I DNF a book if I get past 40% because I feel like I invested too much time to not see it through but life is too short and I’m trying to put down books I’m not liking. Sadly, I DNFed this book at 50%.

Everything just felt like too much in Far and Away. The characters all felt very cliched and surface level. The plot fell flat for me and there were so many aspects I found unbelievable that it annoyed me. I also found it to be pretty stressful. I felt completely unattached from all the characters and could care less what happened to them. 

I think I’m in the minority so definitely give it a go if you want. I will still try her other books in the future, I’m hoping this was the only dud as she has been on my TBR for a while but this is my first by her. 

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc.
