** spoiler alert **
Well, I finished it. I did skip parts after about 1/2 way through but I finished.
All I can say is ...PLEASE!...
I think it had potential to be a great book, I liked the writing style for the most part and it would have been a nice quick read if I wasnt so annoyed. The Joe character was well done I wanted to get to know him - until he met Meg. There was just way too much sap in here for me. There are lines like "as much as I could love anything without you. But yeah". Eww
After 10 days this woman decides that she is in love and not only that but her 5 year old who has never had a father is suddenly ready to have him as her Daddy and isnt at all worried that he is taking some of her Mama's attention away... PLEASE!
Not 1 but 2 sisters after years of being alone fall in love at first site - uh huh that would happen.
Then to top it all off Claire has a brain tumor and turns out the ONLY doctor in the entire country who can see that it could indeed be operated on instead of her dying - is Joe. Sorry I have to say it again... PLEASE!
The entire book is full of this type of thing.
And of course they all live happily ever after.
Maybe I am just way too much of a cynic to have found this enjoyable.

Seriously though? That's what went on in the story? Definitely gotta skip this one! Thanks for the heads up!
I enjoyed this book to a degree but there was too much beating round the bush in the middle section: the last 100 pages were enthralling i
Thanks for the spoilers
I can’t understand why so many people think this is a good book. SO cheesy.
I think sometimes people want cheesy! I am an avid reader and I have it 4 stars. As I reviewed-it is not a mystery; it is predictable and it is a little “yeah right”, but sometimes that’s what people need from a book:) I’m glad I didn’t read your review before as I may have skipped a book I enjoyed...but...with that said, it certainly wouldn’t be for everyone.
Spot on review. Really cheesy and predictable. There was a lot of focus on Claire’s need for aspirin so it was a giveaway in the very beginning
I couldn’t get into this book at all.
Amen. My thoughts exactly.
Couldn’t believe it had been written by same author as Nightingale and Great Alone
Thank you. I've gotten about midway through this and was starting to get annoyed. But I've always enjoyed other Kristin Hannah books I've read. So I came here to see if it was just me and if I should stick it out. You've perfectly encapsulated everything that I was feeling about the book so far. Knowing that it is only going to get more outlandish and sappy has convinced me to shut the cover right now. Thanks for saving my time
Might as well be a lifetime cheesy movie. 🤣
Exactly!!! PLEASE is right.
Easy, early Meg ;)
Thanks. You saved me a lot of time. I’m sure I would have had the same reaction.
THIS. Your review is exactly what I wanted to say! Awful.
I was disappointed after reading her”good” books.
Your second paragraph misquotes who said that line, it was Bobby...not joe. Joe does not speak of love until the very end of the book.
You know, I read so many “dark” books and the world is such a scary place….I guess I needed a little happily ever after and hope. But I get what you’re saying
