👶👶👶 The Girl You Left Behind, by Jojo Moyes

This was a compelling read, but I must admit that I was more drawn in by Sophie's story than by Liv's. Sophie's story had depth, and the characters were more engaging. The historical part of the story was actually reminiscent of The Nightingale. However, the modern-day story was unimaginative and implausible. The novel in its entirety reminded me of the same premise as The Lady in Gold. Therefore, much of the time, I found myself comparing the novel to those I've read in the past, which is never a good way to enjoy a new novel.
