The Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Moyes
5.0
So this book deserves a 5 simply because JoJo Moyes is an incredible wordsmith & storyteller! At the beginning of the story, I was enchanted by brave, compassionate Sophie, a new favorite heroine. In the middle of the story, I was frustrated by stubborn Liv & was ready to delete this review from my Goodreads feed. A bit further on & I was ready to write an irate email to the author about what she was doing to these fictional peeps. But then that ending . . . Yes, the ending & the epilogue satisfied my heart & freed me to love the story again :)
(***Lest you believe I unthinkingly rate every story a 4 or 5, I'll remind you of my GR "policy." This year I decided if a book is a DNF or a 3 or below, I typically will not rate it here. It's too discouraging to the authors. And as for all the 4's & 5's? I simply love stories & appreciate the ones who tell them---whatever genre & whatever style. Thanks to all you hardworking authors out there! You're appreciated.)
