Louisa had the same feelings because in the past Will had many beautiful girlfriends due to his handsomeness. Thus, in the course of the story Louisa got to know one of…

While this trippy sensation probably isn’t for the Jojo Moyes lovers out there, it is a thrill for readers who crave the bizarre, the outlandish and the flat-out confusing. If you’re all about absurdists like Beckett, Murakami and Pynchon, then you need to get to a bookstore (or open Amazon in a tab if that’s your…
