so-soOk Steph...I guess I can see why you loved this book...the last 150 pages were good but the first 300 was like watching paint dry 😩 This book was too much Lifetime movie channel instead of Masterpiece Theatre😟Not a super fan 😬#unpopularopinion
Captivatedbybooks Ive only read The Nightingale and now im afraid to read anything else of her because that book was just breathtaking! 7y
Coleen That‘s exactly how I feel about Kristin Hannah‘s books! 7y
Cinfhen I didn‘t think this book surpassed The Nightingale @Captivatedbybooks but plenty of others did... give it a try...Thanks @Coleen for backing me up😍I hate slamming a book that everyone else seems to love 7y

Coleen I do like her stories, but the writing often makes me cringe. I keep thinking they‘ll get better, but I‘m always disappointed. I haven‘t yet decided if I‘ll give this one a try. 7y
Melissa_J I just bought the book this afternoon 😕 I‘ve not read anything by Hannah before so I don‘t really know what to expect. 7y
Cinfhen @Coleen it‘s pretty much the same formula as all her others... don‘t be discouraged by me @Melissa_J I‘m a bit of a star scrooge...most people LOVED this one💕 7y
Melissa_J Star Scrooge 🤣🤣 I might have to use that expressions. I‘m generally a picky rater, too, and often don‘t love books everyone else seems to so whenever I get myself around to reading this one I‘ll keep my expectations low 👍🏻 7y
Reviewsbylola Really?!? I actually liked the beginning better. 🤣🤣🤣 7y
Mdargusch Have you and @Reviewsbylola ever read a book you both agree on? 7y
Cinfhen Hahaha @Mdargusch I‘m honestly not sure!!! I can‘t remember any besides![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Heart's Invisible FuriesEKonrad Ok I totally agree with you! I‘m glad someone felt the same way about this one! 7y
Reviewsbylola 🤣🤣🤣 good point @Mdargusch 7y
Cinfhen I saw your review @Ekonrad made me feel better about my review😌 happy to be on your side😍 7y
batsy Oh no. I wanted to read this but "Lifetime movie channel" is a bright red flag indeed ? 7y
britt_brooke @Cinfhen I‘ve only ever read The Nightingale and I wasn‘t a fan, so I‘ll be skipping this for sure. 7y
emilyhaldi Well now I'm totally conflicted... and curious! 7y
ElishaLovesBooks Oh boy! This is what I was afraid of! 🙈 7y
Cinfhen I‘m a bit tough with expectations @batsy @britt_brooke @ElishaLovesBooks so I would still say give it a try if you‘re on the fence😏I‘m REALLY curious to hear your thoughts @emilyhaldi ....I‘m thinking you‘ll be #teamCindy 😃 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Oh no!!!! 😩😩 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Captivatedbybooks me too!!! ❤️ 7y
TrishB Oh dear! I shall probably give it a go as on the tbr - but not straight away! 7y
Cinfhen @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m pretty sure you‘ll love this book because your heart is so big you will ache for Leni & Cora & you can probably overlook the cheesy parts #GoForIt 7y
Cinfhen @TrishB I‘m putting you in my category #Realist 😂😘😍we love but we can smell the 💩.... although now that I think about it #Feminist you might get really angry at some parts and really proud at others!!! #GladYourGonnaHaveAGo 🙏🏻 7y
TrishB I have read a couple of Hannah so am used to the cheesey bits ! I will give it a go when current hype stops probably!! 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen awwww you are the sweetest friend 💗💗 7y
Djspens I appreciate and agree with your review. I‘m almost done with the book, and ready to move on. I like Kristin Hannah‘s writing and have enjoyed her books. This wasn‘t my favorite. 7y
Cinfhen It‘s only been a few days and I‘ve already forgotten this story @Djspens it wasn‘t bad but it certainly wasn‘t anything special 🙄 Hopefully your next book will be AMAZING!!! 7y
