After reading Me Before You, I thought I'd try reading more of Jojo Moyes's books - y'know, wanting to experience that heart-wrenching pain again (what can I say, I'm a masochist) - and based on my sample size of 2 books, I feel like Moyes is going to be one of my go-to writers for bittersweet, thought-provoking romance stories. I know some people are uncomfortable with affairs as a plotline, but I think Moyes did well in showing us how life and feelings are always messy and complex, because I feel like it's hard to judge our characters. You just can't help but root for them, and you can't help but keep reading so you can find out just exactly what happened to Jennifer and this mysterious "B". I suppose my only problem was that when the plot moves to the second storyline, it was an adjustment getting to know and like Ellie as a character when I was already so invested in the first one. That said, I'd definitely still recommend this book. I mean, I devoured this in 2 days.

This book is extremely slow, and I found it to be really boring. It bounces between time periods, which usually isn’t a problem for me, but it made the book really confusing. I really struggled to get through it and did not want to finish it.
