Customer Reviews
A bit boring, not like any other her books
I haven't even finished the book yet but I don't like it. I'm just reading in the memory of her other books. I loved Me Before You! And After You! And Last Letter from Your Lover! But this one is going so slooow! I don't know why. Everything is happening very slowly, there is no drive, nothing to looking forward to. Dull!
