The first Lisa Jewell novel I read was Then She Was Gone, instantly I knew that Lisa Jewell would be one of my favourite authors and I’d love her books, I felt like I could trust her writing. Unfortunately, this novel did not hold true to my original hypothesis.

Don’t get me wrong, this novel was very good but it wasn’t good enough. This novel was better than a lot of books I’ve read but just not up to my standards for Lisa Jewell.

The story was hard to connect to, there were many different storylines which resulted in lack of detail and connection. There were a lot of main characters and majority of them were dull and unlikable.

The actual story was interesting but I wish it went further. There was nothing about the novel that made me excited to continue reading, I didn’t care if I finished the book tomorrow or next year. I was expecting so much more.



Twitter Review:

- dull unlikable characters
- hard to connect to literally anything
- nothing special but definitely a solid read
- great ending (the letter and epilogue!!)
- wish it went into more detail
- I love Lisa Jewell’s writing style
