A review by ababs
The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes

5.0

Having read Me Before You, I was prepared for another book that would leave me in a sobbing heap, so this was a pleasant surprise. There were some things I didn't love, like the character presented as the better guy -- he was sweet and caring but also totally willing to give up on love to appease his religious community. Sven was a much better partner, though of course not for Alice. The librarians were great, different but all strong women, and I was rooting for all of them by the end.
