It is very insightful and I relate to everything that you have said.<br /><br />I just finished reading the book (if you are interested here is my review http://twincreatives.com/2015/11/07/book-review-the-love-of-my-life-by-louise-douglas/) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. <br /><br />In the same way as you have described, I was also shocked at the suddenness of Marc and Olivia's relationship, and found Olivia as a character to be very honest and open. I also agree that it is beautifully written, her use of metaphors and description throughout is fantastic. I know that there are mixed reviews about the book on Amazon, and although mainly positive, there are some negative reviews out there that almost made me question my own thoughts. To see that you feel similar to me about the book has been reassuring to say the least!<br /><br />Thank you again for your review, <br />Rebecca (one half of Twin Creatives)<br /><br />Rebeccahttp://www.twincreatives.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731368674126403329.post-83500362379892192492009-10-09T08:20:04.718+01:002009-10-09T08:20:04.718+01:00Meg- I'm the same as you, I think that it'...Meg- I'm the same as you, I think that it's really sad but grief is such a powerful emotion to write about and it has to be done well.Dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214328862998740090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731368674126403329.post-31453735573859743522009-10-08T21:54:30.192+01:002009-10-08T21:54:30.192+01:00Wow, this sounds really powerful!
