5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting love story 27 Mar 2008
By Amy James
Format:Hardcover
This is a beautiful and very sad book about love and life. I've never read anything quite like it because on one level it's an easy to read page turner but its also very intense and moving. The characters are real people you really believe they exist adn the situations are so real. It could easily be an autobiography rather than a novel. The central love story is so powerful it stays with you. This is a classic story. Very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful! 22 Nov 2009
By Lincs Reader TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
I read this over the weekend and loved every page of it - it's certainly up there in this year's favourite books. I'm not usually a 'soppy romantic read' kind of girl but this is so much more than a love story - it's beautifully written and the characters are flawed but believeable and likeable.

There were certain phrases relating the Liv and Luca's relationship and romance that really struck a chord with me and there were times that I was so deeply moved by parts of the story that I had to put the book down for a few minutes to compose myself.

The way that the author portrayed Liv's grief and depression as a 'black dog' was so brilliant - the reader could almost picture the dog alongside her, almost sucking the joy out of her life and burdening her more and more.

Liv (Olivia), the main character is feisty, sad and honest. She's done things that she isnt proud of, she has hurt people and been hurt - I think that there is a bit of Liv in most of us.

A wonderful debut novel - I cant wait to read her next boo

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful reading 9 Aug 2009
By E. Smithies
Format:Paperback
This is one of the most fantastic books I've ever read - easy to read, with totally believable characters and situations. It's incredibly sad, yet hopeful at the same time. The descriptions of people and situations (particularly in the 'flashback' chapters) are wonderfully vivid and real. I would thoroughly recommend this book - I truly could not put it down.
