The Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Moyes

3.0

If you enjoy historical fiction, this one is worth picking up. The reason I only gave it three stars (which is the standard rating for a decent read from me - I am harsh critic to get up to four or five stars) is because I felt it took too long to get back to the back story once we jumped to the modern time. This book did have a great balance or history/war story, mystery/intrigue, and historical/contemporary romance. Much like the contemporary works I have read from Ms. Moyes she carries the story completely through. She grabs you on page one and you are get a nice full story but are somewhat sad to see it end on the last page.
