I loved this books so much more than the first. I laughed, I sobbed, I screamed, I felt every emotion there is to feel while reading this incredible book. Beautifully written, completely relatable. I just can’t put into words how much I loved this book! If I could rate it more than 5 stars I would!

I really wanted to give jojo moyes a try. I didn’t really like the first book and when I flew through the first 40 pages of the second book I was so relieved that I could finally accommodate to her writing style but after that I just couldn’t get into it again. so I kind of had to slightly force myself through the book. I mean it deals with really serious topics that were portrayed in a manner that I perceived as respectable. the this book really dove into detail what the ending of the first book does with Louisa because it would be too good to be true for her to just live on. it was innovative and I enjoyed that Lily and Sam were introduced into the storyline. the book is pretty okay I guess, I would’ve liked it more if the writing would be different but ig im just not a Fan of jojo moyes.

I admit that I didn’t read the first book in this series before reading this one, so some details might be lost on me.
This book was a fun read. I enjoyed the plot, and despite not reading the first book, I caught on quickly. The characters were very unique and lovable. Even some of the background characters still easily stuck in your mind. Louisa definitely shows the struggle of being young and yet struggling with the past-especially since young love can be so strong. Even if we knew someone for a brief period of time, they can have a serious effect on our lives. She also very much showed the struggle of sudden obstacles coming your way (as they often do in life, unfortunately).
I throughly enjoyed this author’s writing style. She made the characters and plot realistic and relatable. The book had many twists and turns, which kept me engaged. I would often think it was going to go one way, and then it wouldn’t. Since I personally related to some themes of this book, it had a special touch for me especially.
I definitely plan on reading the other books in this series and maybe even others by this author.
