Description
Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time.
My Thoughts
Fantastic book, would recommend. I loved the characters and loved the way they interacted, felt so natural. This book deals with serious issues and might even change your point of view on the subject. I found some of it hard to read through crying so much, i read it in one night i couldnt put it down at all i was up till 4am reading this. Will be reading again very soon as i want to soak it all up. 5/5

"Forbidden" will take you on an extraordinary emotional journey. Passionate and shocking, this is a book you will remember long after you have put it down.
My Thoughts
This book is really well written, and it was unexpected the way I would feel at the end of this book. I like the way you had 2 main characters and got to hear both of there views on the situation. Altho I found Lochan more realistic, he seemed more tormented and distanced from having a normal life, where as his sister who seemed more normal and also didn't resist so much to what was going on. Its a really good book a real page turner and I didn't expect to feel so much sympathy for the situation, and things could of been so much different if it wasn't for there mother, and I didn't expect the ending at all not even just before it happened it totally shocked me. 4.5/5

The Girl You Left Behind is a hauntingly romantic and utterly irresistible new weepy from Jojo Moyes, author of the Richard and Judy bestseller, Me Before You.
What happened to the girl you left behind?
France, 1916. Sophie Lefevre must keep her family safe whilst her adored husband Edouard fights at the front. When she is ordered to serve the German officers who descend on her hotel each evening, her home becomes riven by fierce tensions. And from the moment the new Kommandant sets eyes on Sophie's portrait - painted by Edouard - a dangerous obsession is born, which will lead Sophie to make a dark and terrible decision.
Almost a century later, and Sophie's portrait hangs in the home of Liv Halston, a wedding gift from her young husband before he died. A chance encounter reveals the painting's true worth, and its troubled history. A history that is about to resurface and turn Liv's life upside down all over again . . .
In The Girl You Left Behind two young women, separated by a century, are united in their determination to fight for what they love most - whatever the cost.
My Thoughts
Wow, I have just this second finished this book, tears still in my eyes. It was fantastic, so emoitional im worn out from reading it, sometimes i was having to catch my breath.
It was like watching a film I could imagine everything so clearly, and didnt want to put it down, I love both parts of the story.
I think the best way to describe this book is captivating. I could read this book over and over.
I loved the caracters,and they all had so much depth. I will be telling everyone about this book I thought it was amazing.
I dont know if its just me but from time to time, the writing would be Liv said or Liv did then change to She said or She did which sometimes i thought it was a different person, only for a spilt second while my brain caught up. 5/5
These are my own reviews pulled from another site, I know they are short and I intend to do longer reviews, depending on time. I don't know which is better lots of small reviews or longer more detailed reviews?
