Kristin Hannah does it again, if I wasn’t reading the book, I was thinking about the book. The last 30 pages destroyed me

I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the  back burner whilst bringing up the children, previously being an avid reader. A book about love and loss and finding love again. It's a story of ruined psychiatrist Dr Julia Carter and a 6 year old girl she finds abandoned in the woods. Beautifully written and great story telling. Fabulous

Facebook was seriously incredible. I would highly recommend it. The only reason I gave it less than five stars is because I felt like it was dragging along in some areas. Overall, I loved it though.
