Boyyyy do I love this story. I’m a big fan of both the book and the movie. This story is incredibly moving and will have you laughing, swooning, and absolutely sobbing. The ending is rough (from someone who’s very sensitive to not perfectly happy endings), but still wraps up nicely and makes sense. One of my favorite stories ever.

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.
