After reading another Jojo Moyes book, I realize there's a bit of a formula to her books and this was more formulaic in plot than I liked. From the second chapter, I knew what was going to happen. There were a few hurdles I wasn't expecting towards the end but it wasn't enough to make me chance my initial opinion.
If you haven't read any other Jojo Moyes AND you like English-village-romances-with-quirky-characters-and-a-rich-guy-who-gets-his-comeuppance, you will quite enjoy this book. If not, give this a miss.
