It was oddly comforting to step back into Louisa's world, despite the heartbreak of the first book. And there's certainly still plenty of heartbreak here. But what I really loved was how Moyes so brilliantly injects humour into the story. It breaks up the misery and never feels shoehorned in; it's just natural and kind of lovely.

There are some real surprises here (not least a completely hilarious, and touching, sub-plot between Louisa's parents), and a whole mess of drama. Like occasional edge-of-your-seat, is-this-still-a-romance drama. By which time I was so invested I just lapped it up.

I realised how much I had fallen in love with these characters when a small moment at the end made me laugh out loud and then weep with joy. It's a great progression from the first novel, with a lot more hope and maybe even happiness, and I can't wait to see how the trilogy ends.

I thought this book was rather lovely. I absolutely loved the first book-this second one felt right. When someone goes through heartbreak (especially due to someone else dying), they become someone new. I thought the author did a fantastic job demonstration how Clark went through her grief. While this book wasn’t passionate, I felt that it was as it should be after Wills death. 

I loved Lily and her character.  I think it was really great for Clark and the rest of Wills family to experience her. I love Sams character, but I think he’s too good for Clark. And I hate that they are in a relationship.
