Review

Earlier this weekend, the trailer for the movie was released. I knew I had to read the book before seeing the trailer and pretty soon, it was all anyone was talking about and posting about.

I quickly jumped onto the bandwagon and gave it a go. My first Jojo Moyes book. And it was quite a fast read. The story was laid out completely open from the start and it takes you from one adventure to the next. It brought up countless moral issues that it's hard to justify what is right or wrong. Overall, the story was very bittersweet.

Now, book read, trailer watched. Wow... the scenes were exactly how I imagined in my head except for the hideous wardrobe, ouch. I believe Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke are made for this role! I'm excited and can't wait for the release in June
