Happiness… that's what books smells like. Happiness. That's why I always wanted to have a book shop. What better life than to trade in happiness?

A very intriguing read. But honestly, I was very annoyed with Laura and especially her actions. At first, she comes across as a victim, but later in the novel, we see her true colors as well. Did she deserve everything that has happened to her... well, you know what they say about karma? So... Nevertheless, I have enjoyed the novel, especially because Laura and Bronwyn's two strong characters play not-so-innocent roles. Both are angry and envious of each other's lives. Basically, they have met their equal match. Great plot, fast read. I would absolutely recommend the novel to my friends.

Red cross nurse and a Canadian doctor find love on the battlefield in a midst of WWII. Cute story but lacks anticipation. Since this is the very first book of the series, I am hoping the following books will produce more suspense. The build-up of the plot was strong. I enjoyed all the characters and am eager to know what will happen to them all in the future. Also, the part about the VIP patient was intriguing, although it ended abruptly, which makes me hope the character will make an appearance in future novels.

Alison's disappearance nine years prior has put a very rough toll on her flatmate and best friend Stephanie. And the old feeling returns when a researcher begins to dig into Alison's old case. Overwhelmed by the past and guild Stephanie makes it her mission to find out what really has happened to her friend. And by discovering the truth, she reveals decade-long secrets that put her own life in danger.

My favorite walks

I am having a hard time expressing my feelings about this book. The first two halves are beautiful stories of survival, love, and courage. Such a strong set of characters, I cried when they cried, and my heart ached when their hearts were broken to pieces. I held my breath when they held to their lives by the strand of their hair... This novel was written in a manner that made me feel I was there, a part of their strange but loving circle. But let me tell you about the last part of the novel... the language and story were so intense, that I had full-body chills. I cried when George described his final moments with Philip.

Can't stop - won't stop

The fast-paced novel, dual timeline, filled with multiple twists and a spine-chilling ending. As much as I've enjoyed the twisty plot, I was taken aback by how mistaken and naive Lulu was about Nick's character. Although all the facts were right there in front of her face, she blindly followed her husband's lies. You would think a psychotherapist would be a lot sharper. Oh well.
