4.0

As someone who grew up loving the movie (and reading this for the first time) I loved some of the takeaway quotes. Like 
“It’s easy to forget what you do in the dark, if you need to.”

And of course 

And fall in love whenever you can. 

But I had a hard time with the plot lines sometimes. And the relationships between the sisters.

I’m so glad I never have to read this book again. I didn’t care about any of the characters and I just wanted it to be over.

5.0

I adored this. Listening to it was so enjoyable with the different actors. I need 100 more just like it. Just wonderful. 
(I watched the Netflix movie first and loved that. I may love the movie more only because I’m in love with Michael Huisman who plays Dawsey. If you haven’t watched the movie and enjoy this book go watch it right now!!)

5.0

I loved this!!!! I just read sense and sensibility for the first time (after growing up watching the movie with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet)
I did not enjoy Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility (I grew up loving. The movie). But I loved this book. I think Nikki did an incredible job with this interpretation and I loved getting a glimpse into Bear’s decision making!! 
I think every one who didn’t like this book just has never read Sense and Sensibility. 
I need to read Pride and Protest ASAP

🙈🙈🙈 idk what about it I just didn’t quite like. I’m sorry Ashley. I still love you and I’ll read anything you write!
For me I just thought the premise was a little confusing but that could just be me.
