Jojo Moyes: The Last Letter from Your Lover

Before this one I read one book from Jojo Moyes and it was Me Before You. I know what to expect from this kind of books and for me this is entertainment and relaxation. I am not a book snob, pretending that I read just highbrow literature, I appreciate all kind of genre but Me Before You wasn't a book that I'll remember, in fact it was hard for me to pick up other books by Jojo Moyes. And to be honest I don't know why, because I can't say that it was bad, maybe it didn't convey any emotions to me and I expected that it would. So when I picked up Last Letter from Your Lover it was without some great expectations and I must say I liked this one much much better. It delivered just what I wanted, entertainment and relaxation. A nice thing is also that the story takes place in the 1960's and in 2003.

In 1960, Jennifer wakes up in hospital after a car accident. She can't remember anything - her husband, her friends, who she used to be. And then, when she returns home, she uncovers a hidden letter, and begins to remember the lover she was willing to risk everything for.

In 2003 journalist Ellie looks through her newspaper's archives for a story and she doesn't think she'll find anything of interest. Instead she discovers a letter from 1960 and is caught up in the intrigue of a past love affair.

"But even the chance to think upon your beautiful face, your smile, and know that some part of it might belong to me is probably the single greatest thing that has happened to me in my life."

"Rubbish - you make a choice. Everyone makes a choice." " So you've never been transported by something, never felt that pull?" He faces her. "Of course I have. But if acting on it meant I was going to hurt someone else, I took a step back."

" You know, you can't make someone love you again. No matter how much you might want it. Sometomes, unfortunately, the timing is simply... off."

"The young don't have a monopoly on broken hearts, you know."

I was thinking if I ever recieved a love letter. Nope, didn't happen. Do messages count? :)
What is your opinion of Jojo Moyes books? Which one should I read next?

Have a great day ;)
