As usual what I love about Jojo Moyes is while is there are happy events in this book, there are also very sad events andthings don't turn out entirely how you think. Though warning if you liked Me Before You, this one is much more Chick Lit.
This book took me a bit longer to get into but once I was got into it I was hooked! As usual I loves stories with two related timelines. The narrative really makes you think how different things where, in this case for women, in the not so distant 60s. It is a stark contrast from the "present" day story and even in the past things are already changing from how Jennifer was brought up to live vs how young women start living as adults in the mid 60s.
I would have liked to hear more from Laurence's point of view , about his company and the impact mesothelioma on the asbestos / mining industry but as this book is more from the female perspective so makes sense that they aren't let in on that. Even Moira who is unique in that time period as a woman who is more focused on work, still obviously isn't in on everything. Would have loved more from Moira!! She was great.
I would give this 3.5 -4 , can't decide. Overall I enjoyed it!

Read it because it isn’t about human tragedy but finding love.
In het begin vond ik het verhaal af en toe moeilijk te volgen. De dingen die door personen werden gezegd was voor mij onduidelijk. Later in het verhaal had ik hier gelukkig minder last van doordat het verhaal duidelijker werd. Uiteindelijk vond ik het wel een mooi verhaal maar toch niet zo goed/mooi als Voor Jou

Part 1 and 2 were great stories and I found it captivating. Part 3 reminded me of a book called Love, Rosie. It became predictable and though I could have enjoyed Ellie's story in a different format with greater attention, I felt it was rushed and she did not get the attention she deserved. I like Jojo Moyes novels but this one did not do it for me.
a touching love story with many twists and turns. I think everyone should meet an Anthony O'Hare sometime in their lives.

This book took me forever to read - maybe because it was downloaded as a pdf and was sitting on my phone. The book itself wasn't too bad.
Its a light-hearted book, however predictable. Harlan and Maggie were always going to be what they were going to be, chuck in a few basset hounds as friends
