Oh. My. Gosh.
I just finished this like 5 minutes ago...my head is spinning a little bit and my chest feels tight (probably from trying really hard not to cry in English class). Jojo Moyes is such a talented writer! This is the first of her books that I've read, and I'm happy to say that it kind of crushed my soul! That sounds weird, but I live for books that make me feel extreme emotions. Lou and Will were such amazing, deep characters that I got sucked into the story almost immediately. I loved that the book didn't just focus on Lou and Will, but that we got different perspectives along with other subplots to keep the story from getting too out of hand romance-y. Seriously, I loved this book. Really great way to start off March! Should I read After You (the second book), or keep my view of Louisa and Will untainted by a sequel?
