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!

Not only was this book beautifully written, heartwarming and moving, it was so gripping and I was never bored whilst reading it. There were plot twists, including one rather large twist towards the end, and the story is so interesting. I felt as though I was on a journey with the main characters and I connected with them from the very beginning.
I loved how some of the story was told from the point of view of Gloria as well as Hattie as I found that allowed me to see things from her point of view also. I was slightly heartbroken at the end when Reuben and Hattie parted ways as they were best friends, however I now see that this was probably for the best, and Hattie is happy now with her son either way!

When i picked this book up from the store, i was slightly hesitant as i recently watched the film version they brought out and i hate reading books after seeing the film. However, nerve was nothing like the film. Apart from the concept of the game being dares and a few of the characters names, everything was different so i found it easy to stay intrigued.
I love love loved the last dare they had to complete and found it so gripping that i read this book in a day! The only reason i gave it 4* was because at the beginning i did find it a bit slow and thought i would prefer the film, but the more i got into it, i preferred the book to the film.
I also loved the cliffhanger it left me as a reader on, however annoying it may have been! A good read to finish off October with!

I was given this at 12am Christmas Day and had finished it by half past! Such a lovely little Christmas treat and by my idol Carrie! I've been waiting to read this for so long and it didn't fail to impress me. In On The Other Side, we found out all about Evie and so it was nice to get a bit more insight into Vincent as well as Eleanor, Evie's mum, which was a surprise to me. Very short but very enjoyable so I’m gonna give this a 4!!
I read the majority of these stories apart from the last couple which I may at some point in the future get around to but at the moment they just aren't appealing towards me - stopped reading very early on this year!
Good plot and storyline I just can’t stand Shakespeare because I don’t understand it
