Jojo Moyes gets better and better. This was the perfect book to read while hanging out in hospital rooms, because it absorbed me so thoroughly that it helped distract me from worrying about my husband's ill health.
Her characterizations are simultaneously hilarious, heartbreaking and always spot-on. Her stories drag you in instantly. I hope she keeps writing for a long, long time. ...more

ilk no, no. Note to self: no more jojo moyes
Again, I wish there was a half star rating option here because I did really like this book, but it wasn't one I have been thinking about or rushing out to tell everyone about, which is the benchmark for my 4 and 5 star reviews. It was just a good book. So I'm giving it 3 stars, but know that these three stars are higher than the three stars I give some other books!
