I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Having read and enjoyed other JoJo Moyes novels, I wasn't expecting this story to be as moving and engrossing as it was. I grew to love all of the travelling librarians, and root for them. I didn't see the twist coming (although I probably should've), and I was genuinely afraid things wouldn't turn out for the best (even though that would've rendered this not a romance!)
