bextera's review against another edition
Reading about other people's relationship issues can be really dull.

I found this story a breath of fresh air. The author didn't bother to bore the reader with day to day goings on, instead choosing to focus on weekends away to a holiday home. Due to this I found myself desperate to read the snippets of the time which has passed since the last visit to the cottage.
The cottage itself changes so much during the course of the story, as do the lives of those featured. The main characters, Jo and Harry, are intense and complicated characters. Both have stories from their past and from the very start of their relationship they decide to unload secrets to each other.
Life moves on, careers change, and they both have different things to deal with. But they still continue to return to Morrow for weekends of unloading problems and getting away from the worries of everyday life.
I think the story was well thought out and the changes to the relationship, and within Morrow itself, were all brilliantly done.

Not the best Walker book I’ve read, loved the setting - but Jo annoyed me, Harry sounded divine, but Jo would have drove him away I feel. I can see a lot of things that draw two people together at first are the very things that tear them apart at the end. I still don’t know what happened at the end of the book-were they back together or not for another year? Worse part of the book-loosing her mum’s dog, we never found out what happened to the poor pooch.

I wanted to read this book so badly cause from the summary it sounded similiar to the movie (or play) "Same time next year". Imagine my disappointment when I realized this book is nothing like it. Harry and Jo meet, have a fling, but imemdiately end up deciding they want to give this thing between them a try. So they return every year, but as a couple, and omg it's so boring. The beginning was kind of nice, but then they got together and I kept wondering if it was going anywhere. It's a typical story between two people who get married, have babies and somehow can't make it work - boring. Because their issues are not even all that original. A rather disappointing read.
