Don't get me wrong, it's a decent book, but clearly not her best, just an early try. We know she's improved as a writer enormously. We love her books, in fact, we love her! Maybe her publisher thought, her fans just want her books ALL THE TIME, why don't we give them this too. Ok, I'll buy that; but please make sure you put the original 2004 date as when written, and 2019 as the US publication. Otherwise, US fans will be confused. I feel like I should get a medal for making it through this. Any other author and I would have given up easily after the first couple chapters. I'm not an easy reader, I'm not one of those people that can finish a book in a day so its really a miracle that I slugged through this and finished it. El libro tomó algunas vueltas que no esperaba, pero en última instancia es una historia de cómo la familia forma nuestra creencia en sí mismo y las decisiones simples que toman las personas y la complejidad de por qué lo hacen. So there was a lot of eye-rolling and gritting of teeth but somehow I persevered with the story and made it to the end (which I did not like btw!).

The Peacock Emporium by Jojo Moyes Book Marks reviews of The Peacock Emporium by Jojo Moyes
Family and class are both significant themes in this book—and in some of your other books as well—and we see Suzanna, Douglas, and others chaffing at their tethers. What is it about issues of class that makes it important to you?
Jojo’s work never fails to bring a smile to my face with her honesty, humor, and empathy about what it is to be human—[ Still Me is] a must read!”—Emilia Clarke Evaluation: I enjoy all of Moyes books. Her writing is quite good and her talent for realistic dialogue is outstanding. Moyes wisely knows that life-changing events don’t always change our lives for the better. . . . After You may not be the sequel you expect, but it is the sequel you needed.” —Entertainment Weekly
