For some reason I keep adding Lisa Jewell books to my shelves, but haven't read any of them... until now!
I devoured this one (well as much as you can on audio!). Alice finds a man sitting on the beach watching the water, in the rain. Hours later, he's still sitting there staring ahead.

I really enjoyed this book.It started out slow but got better as it went on. This is the first book I've read by Lisa Jewel and I plan to check out her other books.

Maybe because I have a cold, but I just couldn't get completely into this book. I really enjoyed Jewell's "The Girls in the Garden" so I picked this one up with high hopes. There were some good twists and turns, but just a 3 star read for me. I did like the quirky character of Alice.
