panI found this slow to start and it didn‘t pick up. A mediocre story, where not much happened throughout, with the added bonus of irritating characters.
Even the events that ended up happening were too coincidental to add interest to the story. There was too much going on, and the book was much too long for what it was. Another bugbear was the grammatical errors throughout, how did no one notice?!
Hahah! Thanks for the tag @TheAromaofBooks 🧡I‘m always down for a little #ISpy or Bookshelf Hide and Seek.
@SaturnDoo @hes7 @jb72 Do you guys want to play? Can you find a book with a neon green cover or spine?
pickThis is a love-hate review. I love Jojo Moyes. I am enthralled with how she can get you to love one of her characters without you even realizing it until you reach a certain point in one of her books and you start to ugly cry. This was not my favorite however.
It was a tough one to get into. I did not understand why it began the way it did. The storyline seemed impossible at first. I almost stopped reading it, but refused to. I am so glad I did.
pickAfter enjoying Me Before You and the books in that series, I decided to keep my eye out for more books by Jojo Moyes. This one was a ripped cover discount purchase. She develops her characters so thoroughly and, as a result, I miss them when I‘ve finished the book. I was so invested in this book, that I would stay up later that I should because I couldn‘t stop reading. I eagerly awaited the moment I could continue reading.
bailed202 pages of repetition with no forward movement is all I can take
Omg, can we get on with the story already?!!!
125 pages and nothing is happening 😖
I'd bail, but I don't feel like deciding on another book 😕
@justanothermusing my #summerreadingswap arrived! So excited to read these books! Thank you so much! The stickers are adorable! So much fun!! #litsyswaps
My first Goodreads giveaway win arrived today!! 🐎💃🏼🥰 Thank you @penguinusa
I was so excited to get this email!! I have entered so many of these Goodreads giveaways and it is my first win!! 😁 Even though this book isn‘t rated so high on here, I‘m still excited to receive my book soon! 🐎 💃🏼
so-soI almost gave up on this several times then by the last third I was finally hooked. Still, enjoying one third doesn't make up for the first two thirds.
There are some uncomfortable moments in here and once again, if the characters would just communicate effectively then a lot of the problems that happen wouldn't have happened, which to me is just frustrating.
so-soThis one for me was about a 3.5. It was a little slow in the beginning and I spent a good bit of time not liking the female character but in the end it all came together and true to Moyes‘s writing style I had a lump in my throat. If you are a horse lover this book will rank a little higher for you as you will appreciate even more the horsemanship and the bond between the girl and her horse.
I managed to get a little reading done at the lake this weekend. This one has been slow to start but is starting to pick up now.
Just getting started on this one. I loved #MeBeforeYou but thought #AfterYou was just okay. Wonder what category this one will fit in?
Her books seem to be hit or miss for me.
After 2 attempts at reading this one, I‘m thinking it‘s time to bail.
pickThis was not my favorite of Jojo Moyes but still such a solid read. She does such a great job of writing involved, flawed, complicated characters facing crisis, love, moral dilemmas, and everything else. With 7 pages left I felt myself reading with a small smile and tears in my eyes. You got me again JoMo!
I'm kind of in love with both covers. Left or right, you think?

so-soNot my favorite of hers. The story dragged in parts. At the heart it was good. Just painfully wordy and slow in places.
I'm not able to even come close to #24in48, but I'm glad I signed up & joined the effort. This sweet thing came home so I'm not all that sad about my distraction. And I'm amazed I've read 13 hours! Mainly by audio while cooking for said sweet thing and doing other chores/workouts & skipping a little bit of sleep. Congrats to all who made it-for us wannabes here's to next time! Note: ❤️❤️❤️this book, so glad I choose it last minute❣️👧🐴 #readathon
I knew I'd find something sweeter to start with- #24in48 -let's do this!
Perfect Saturday afternoon!! I've started & stopped this book numerous times, hoping today is the day it hooks me
pickLoved this book .. loved the relationship between Sarah and her Papa. Natasha comes to some hard realizations about herself and I loved that too. Excellent book
