It s hard to hide from love in a city that never dims its lights But love is never easy when everything you know changes Download Beyond the Skyline – kino-fada.fr 4.2 stars Liked it a lot Even though I ve nothing in common with these women I liked how the author built their characters by how they interacted with their families and how they felt about certain things It made them relatable and three dimensional I felt a deeper connection with themthan usual which is always a joy It s a sign of a good book.This is one of those toaster oven stories but it gets going pretty fast, there is some drama and a little bit of angst here and there but mostl 4.2 stars Liked it a lot Ev...Another one bites the dust.And by that I mean another book falls prey to the unnecessary creation of drama around the

change She went from being a laid back character to all of a sudden making demands in regards to meeting her girlfriend s friends and family Despite being warned about her girlfriend s mother she insists on meeting her and sure enough all hell breaks loose From that point on I started skimming until I got to chapter view spoiler 41 hide spoiler After that I m not sure what I did...Remarkable good This story is written in such a wonderful way and with so much detail You can taste and smell Hong Kong and the whole atmosphere Add to that two amazing women and you have the basis for a wonderful lovestory The main characters are from two different cultural tradition and backgrounds Each character stands out individually and I really felt connected with them The spontaneity and charisma of Mel is capitivating The chemistry and the tension build over the course of the plot Remarkable good This story is written in such a wond...I don t know if it s because I ve read some very high quality books this week, but Beyond the Skyline fell short even though it started out very promising So the dialogue was not the greatest and the characters were somewhat juvenile in their actions but the trip to Hong Kong was nicely done with good descriptions of the city and the culture It was around the 70% mark when the two main characters took a stupid pill or had a personality transplant for the sake of a plot contrivance High dram I don t know if it s because I ve read some very high quality books this week, but Beyond the Skyline fell short even though it started out very

novel.Until 75% I liked it better than The cruise , but then all the drama, was sometimes a little bit too much Still, I like Lise Gold s stories, good story nice characters, wonderful settings and descriptions.A surprisingly nice read 3.5 rounded up to 4..I absolutely loved Beyond the Skyline The description of Hong Kong is marvellous, I might use this book as a guide if I ever want to visit there again, the chemistry between the main characters is very real That both women are gorgeous is maybe unrealistic but doesn t hurt the story I do have a weakness for coming out stories, so also in that way it s just my favourite kind The narrator is one of the best I ve heard recently I m very critical about narrators, but Jessica Jeffries is perfect I a...Well DoneI don t usually write reviews but I m actually really impressed with this new author I ve read both of her books so far and they are great, very relatable Well written, great story line.Overall I enjoyed it It s the 3rd book I ve read by this author in the last few weeks I appreciate the promise of a happy ending and decent people who care about treating each other well The one thing that bothers me, which was also in Fireflies, is the where are from question followed by where are you from originally Or where are you from, your heritage After the other character has stated that the London or Cambridge area they grew up in and presumably in their equally British acce Overall I enjoyed it It s the 3rd book I ve read by this author in the last few weeks I appreciate the promise of a happy ending ...
