This is one of the cheesiest, most predictable, least believable romance novels I have ever read. It beats each and every Nicholas Sparks garbage (read „garbage” as „Beach novels I sometimes, once a year, indulge in”).

The entire plot can be inferred from the first few chapters, which takes everything out of the enjoyment of reading it. I was very, very close to discard it, but I finally managed to finish it during a boring road trip where there was nothing to do but stare at the empty road or read. This novel could have easily taken 100 pages instead of the 300+ of agony. It drags on and on without any purpose in life other than making the reader suffer. It has as many POVs as Game of Thrones, but nothing of the magic.

As it's my first Jojo Moyes, I am seriously taken aback. I had planned to read Me Before You, but now... is it really worth it?

The stunning, RNA shortlisted novel by Jojo Moyes, internationally bestselling author of Me Before You, After You and the new bestseller Still Me. 'Compelling tale' - Heat Liza McCullen will never escape her past. But the unspoilt beaches and tight-knit community of Silver Bay offer the freedom and safety she craves - if not for herself, then for her young daughter, Hannah. Until Mike Dormer arrives as a guest in her aunt's hotel, and the peace of Silver Bay is shattered. The mild-mannered Englishman with his too-smart clothes and disturbing eyes could destroy everything Liza has worked so hard to protect: not only the family business and the bay that harbours her beloved whales, but also her conviction that she will never love - never deserve to love - again.
