To the moon and back by Jill Mansell

*****5 stars
I am a huge fan of Jill Mansell. She always seems to nail her characters to a T and have such an emotional story. That is true with To The Moon and Back. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Her books pull you immediately in, without giving away too much the plot I had tears running by the second chapter. Her books are so vivid with detail and keep your attention. I find that long after I have finished reading her books, her characters stay with me. I do have to say that this one deals with life and it's many curve balls, about things ending and the strength to begin again, so although you may think it to be a sad story throughout, it's not, it's about finding strength and your own place. :) It is definitely a book to be reread and passed on to a good friend, that you know will return it. This book will stay in my library like many of my *****5 star books for a reread. Do enjoy!
