Ah well, wound up tossing The Light Between Oceans after 75 pages .... actually, after 75 pages I started skimming, and skimmed the rest of the book in 20 minutes.

I cried through the entire second half. Heartbreaking and hard to put down.
This lovely book was so much more than I expected. I've been trying not to read synopses and this one caught me off guard. I had no idea what a truly original plot line I'd find and what wonderful characters were waiting for me. The writing was beautiful, the characters flawless, and I was left wanting nothing from this great read.
