Hello Alysha

Not at all what I expected...it was better

“There are some people who have such a strong effect on you, even if you have spent very little time with them, they become embossed inside of you and any hint of them, any mention of them creates a stir inside of you.”

This was not at all what I was thinking it would be. I could not stop and read it in one day. It’s a great story that shows so many different points of views through the lenses of the different characters.

I love the ending where she talks about how maybe that’s what we as women are supposed to do, pour ourselves into each other...not giving too much...but enough to help build each other up!

Horrible Ending

Horrible ending! Enjoyed the story but found the ending to be a little too quick and forced. It ruined what was an engaging read!

Cinderella-ish story

Any additional comments?

Cute story, quick read. I was able to get drawn up in the story. I felt for the main character and her kids...not so much for the tech millionaire. I liked the flow of the story and the nice but not overly perfect ending.

Everything to know about the Lusitania

Revisado: 04-18-18

Any additional comments?

Such a fascinating read. It had so much in it. I found myself talking about the Lusitania to random people. I definitely recommend this book, but still, favor his book the Devil in the White City.

Fascinating things to consider

Revisado: 04-18-18

I genuinely love books like this. It is truly fascinating to consider all the ways the Bible was influenced, which makes me grateful for personal revelation.

Another book about blame and tearing others down

Revisado: 04-18-18

Any additional comments?

I really love this book. I found it so easy to read. Ng really develops characters and plots which makes the story engaging. I can't say that I agree with the tone or point of view of the story, essentially villanizing Elena Richardson, and victimizing Mia Warren, I feel both made poor decisions, which at the time they thought were good decisions...so why are we as a culture so into blaming and tearing one another down? Where is the story of how they were able to work out their differences? Where are the examples of open adoption?

Great read! I can see why BBC turned this book into a series!! I love all things to do with Queen Victoria. The book and the series are pretty close.

Amazing

Revisado: 04-18-18

Any additional comments?

What an amazing story! It is equal parts heartbreaking and hope-filled. For my birthday in 2016, I asked for everyone to give me a book with an inscription about why they loved it. My best friend Stephanie gave me this book with the following inscription: "Happy Birthday! I'm so incredibly thankful you're in my life and that I'm lucky enough to have you as my dear, eternal friend. We understand each other as few do on this earth. You're my person. No, still no bodies to hide (yet). This book is about life and all of the crazy that comes with it...from the view of a dog. I hope it warms your heart as much as it did mine. I hope you're able to laugh, cry and wistfully appreciate life's simple lessons along with it. Love you and miss you (always).

The only negative is that it took me over a year and a half to get to it.

Really this is it?

It was hard not to fall in love with Me Before You....and I actually loved Me After You so much more than its predecessor that I was actually giddy and counting down the days for Still Me.

However, this book was boring! It was engaging right up to the point that the Will Trainer doppelgänger was insecure and overly apologetic. I can't even talk about how annoying he was as a character or how much I despised Louisa for being daft enough to be with him. Then the whole Sam and Katie mess. I wasn't looking for a picture perfect ending which is why the ending is so God awful...think Sleepless in Seattle...but I honestly wanted to invest in Louisa again. I wanted to be happy for her and enjoy her growth, see her come into her own again, but I couldn't because I found her annoying and making poor decisions and just so dull. I feel as if I have been punked...like this can't be the actual ending.

Meh!

Meh! It was hard to follow with the jumping around...and I hate that he, like so many, described lust between two people as love!
