I sometimes felt pulled out of the story by the change in focus. But I must say that unlike a lot of books with the past and present stories, I did find both of the stories in this book interesting on their own.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-67255619523697717192014-02-18T21:15:18.680-05:002014-02-18T21:15:18.680-05:00Darlene- You're going to love the audio versio...Darlene- You're going to love the audio version of Me Before You!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-14145569743198633142014-02-18T21:14:33.291-05:002014-02-18T21:14:33.291-05:00Trish - I would have loved to have more about Soph...Trish - I would have loved to have more about Sophie, too... such a wonderful book!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-80323986661405664942014-02-18T21:13:51.139-05:002014-02-18T21:13:51.139-05:00Beth F - Yes, you must!!Beth F - Yes, you must!!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-22220057985283237812014-02-17T22:52:01.410-05:002014-02-17T22:52:01.410-05:00I loved this book as well.
