2 ⭐️ had high hopes for this one and have liked some of Jojo Moyes’ other work but this was disappointing. Very all over the place and I had trouble getting invested in the characters.

This was cute! Just a little too long with a bit too much going on.

This book is what made me realize that I would read anything Jojo Moyes writes. I love the simplicity of the inciting incidents and the complexity, variety, and strength of her female characters (even if some of them and their decisions drive me crazy - like how long it takes Sam to realize her worth). This book definitely passes the Bechdel test, and I loved the satisfaction and fnrhe endifg! There hasn't been a book of hers that I haven't yet liked!

I usually love Jojo Moyes, but the book was just bad. It was boring, neither of the characters were particularly likable, and the interesting parts were so spread out it made me just want to skim bit by bit to get through. Disappointing.
