Another winner! Can't get enough of her writing!

WOW - I loved this book as I did "Giver of Stars". If you have read ONE of Moyes' books you'll want to read all of them. Each story is an original tale full of twists and turns on every page. LOVE LOVE LOVE this author!

Oh My Goodness!!!! I am sunk, hook, line and Sinker! JOJO FAN!!

The waves in this Getaway plot are heart wrenching, heart throbbing. I am a new JoJo fan. Along the trip pick up on a little history from WWI, in France. Read it if you enjoy Drama with unexpected outomes.

kept me interested right to the last page

I've read a couple of her books before and liked them. This one was no different. She weaves her storyline with characters & situations that you can identify with. It makes you feel like you're right there with them. I will definitely read more of her books.
