The Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Moyes
3.0

Overall I liked this book. It took a bit of time to get into it. It didn't grab me right away. But once it got going, it was good. Then, there is a switch from past to present about halfway through and it is a little abrupt. It took me awhile to get into the newly introduced characters, especially after being left hanging on the past storyline. But once I got to know them I became interested in their story, too. I found the switching back and forth after that to be a little disctracting, but I understand how the author was trying to weave the story together. As a reader it was kind of frustrating, though.
