First Reactions: Bloody brilliant, heartbreaking and absorbing read.


Considered Review: "Kiss me Hardy" will never have the same resonance to me, now it's heartbreaking and readers of this book will understand why.

Going into this I knew a few things about the book, unreliable narrator had been bandied about so I knew there was something there and I wondered what it was and what was about to happen and the story unfolded and showed itself and the other characters unfolded through the words of Verity and the twists and turns of what was going on showed itself.

The detail about planes was interesting and about the female ferry pilots, unsurprising as the author is a pilot herself, but the story gripped me and I finished it very glad I had read it but touched and heartbroken and knowing that the progression of the story was all right but also wishing that it could have turned out different.

The characters came alive to me on the page and I cared deeply for almost every one and I look forward to reading more by this author and seeing what my husband thinks of the read. Immediately after finishing it I pressed it into his hands and told him that it would probably break his heart but it was well worth reading.
