Totally engrossing heartfelt story

This is a wonderful story, in all senses of the word. It pulled me in from the start and kept me hooked until the end. The theme is how people and feelings evolve through the years and I loved how we got to see the truth in that from different perspectives.


I enjoyed how the book started in 1997 and the flashback to how things were then, and we also get a reminder of what has changed since then when the book continnues 20 years later. I’m not going to write too much about the storyline, you don’t want to know more than you get from the blurb going in, so I’ll just say the I was on the edge of my seat while reading and I was crying, something I almost never do, at the end. This being said I thought the ending was perfect.


Mr Reed’s use of language is a delight and he manages to describe things, both items, feelings, and people, in a very vivid way. I could truely feel all the different kinds of love between the characters in the book.


Blake Harwood’s narration is a little flat, but it actually suits this particular book. As a non-native English speaker I appreciate the clarity of his voice and pronounciation.
