Before I Met You

I really really enjoyed this book! It did take me a bit of time trying to get used to the back and forth nature of the chapters, as they flit between Arlette in 1920 and Betty (Arlette's step-granddaughter) in 1995. Once that happened though, I did not want to put the book down. I was completely drawn in to their lives, and I found it deeply fascinating to read about Arlette's life in 1920, and imagining London then.

This book gives up its secrets slowly, bit by bit and it made me want to keep coming back to read it and find out more.

I have read and loved Lisa Jewell's other books, and this new one most definitely hasn't disappointed. I absolutely recommend this.
