This book probably wasn’t bad but I just can’t get on with audiobooks and I tried again but it wasn’t for me. I get so lost and miss so much info that by the end I had no clue really what was happening and couldn’t have cared less. I should have just stopped but after reaching the halfway mark I couldn’t bare the thought of DNFing without anything to show for the time I’d wasted. Maybe I will pick up the book one day??
Honestly, it took me a long time to get into this book. Don't get me wrong, once I'd finally become more interested in the storyline, halfway through the book, I thought it was relatively good. It just wasn't what I expected. After reading If I Stay and thinking it was a great book, I had already got this book down in my head as being just as good. On the whole it was good, just a little disappointing and I would've liked to have been into it more nearer to the beginning.
I genuinely started off this book absolutely loving it! I thought it was cleverly written, interesting AND I'd read 1/4 of it in one night.
Then things kind of went down hill...
I only read short snippets at a time for a few days and by then I'd lost all the excitement I had for it at the start HOWEVER, I soon got back into it and it was a good book.
Saying this, near the end things just seemed to get, well, boring. I wasn't enjoying reading it that much but I felt I had to because I'd loved the start of the book and wanted to know what happens!
When I had like 100 pages left, I sat down at 10pm and just thought man, I wanna finish this god damn book. I wanna get it over with and start a new one. So... I read - well technically skimmed.
Okay a lot skimmed.
I basically didn't read the last 100 pages. I made sure I knew what was going on and yeah there were certain sections that interested me but apart from that, it felt like a chore to read this book.
Not great, not a favourite but, okay I guess.

This book is by far one of the better books I have read this year! To say it was also one of the longer ones, with nearly 500 pages, I was gripped from the very beginning and was never bored reading it.
When reading the prologue, I was down heartened when I saw it was written in third person and the present tense but as soon as the book began at chapter one I was soon made happy when it changed to first person in the past tense.
I am a person who when reading books can love a story so much and find it emotional but won't really laugh out loud or cry. I have only ever cried at one book before in my life and this book was the second. The story and the characters and the whole concept was just so poignant and really resonated with me as I'm sure it did with a lot of other readers as well. Jojo Moyes has really outdone herself with me before you as it is such a strongly written novel that engages its readers and isn't hard to follow or understand at all!
