The Last Letter from Your Lover
by Jojo Moyes
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!
