- cried a lot, dragged a little in some places, love the plot line and the plot twists were GOOD. and was able to feel the connection between and with the characters. Last like 5 chapters took me out though 😭. Very much a sad boy book. .2/5 spicy

This book will be loved by fans of Jo Jo Moyes. It has the too-good-to-be-true love story, lashings of gorgeous men, heart warming animal vignettes and oodles of tear jerking opportunities. Told in the 'she says, he says' split narrative you can relish how truly thoughtful and considerate the men are, and how the women are so honest and vulnerable. It was a bit like eating a whole Easter Egg, enjoyable at the start but I felt a little sick at the end, over indulged and in need of something less treacly.

I bawled my eyes out. that’s it
i knew it was coming but i couldn’t stop crying it was so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time
the writing is beautiful yet still very classic
it was a really good book but a devastating story

*SPOILER ALERT*
I enjoyed this book until the break up of Joel & Callie. I was all in - 5 stars. But once they break up, it's like you can see the end coming and the book could have ended in 25-50 pages at that point. Really disappointing as it started off so good.

Around page 300 I realised how much I don't really care and honestly just kept screaming "just get over it" at both characters.

Okay so even though Joel’s medical condition ( can I call it that??) is insane, I am so in love with this story!! I love Joel, I want Joel and Callie to have the best life together and go to Chile together and grow old together... I keep saying together because the blurb implied that they don’t stay together and this breaks my heart as I am here for them

E un DNF și cred ca m am oprit înainte de plot twist pentru ca nu mai aveam răbdare cu ea. Stilul autoarei de a nara m a determinat sa inventez o înjuratura nouă. Eu și aceasta carte nu am putut fi compatibile nici cu forța și credeți ma, chiar am încercat și am citit mult in sila pana m am decis sa ridic steagul înfrângerii.
TOTUȘI, i am oferit 2 steluțe pentru ca: 1)primele 100 de pagini nu au fost chiar rele deoarece 2)ideea cărții era chiar buna și conceptul inițial chiar are mult potențial, însă autoarea (după părerea mea) a pierdut mulți cititori pe drum din cauza ca a tras de poveste aiurea.
Așadar, cartea asta a avut un început promițător și multă sare, dar autoarea nu a piperat acțiunea (si când spun acțiune piperată nu ma refer la scene 18+, ci la măcar introducerea unor lucruri relatable din viața cotidiană sau a unei intrigi care sa ma facă sa tot dau pagina) pe parcurs și m a pierdut ca cititor.
