I really enjoyed this book. The setting skips between present day, where a girl raised in foster care meets an elderly lady and finds they have a lot in common. The present day chapters are told in third person. The flashback chapters depicting the older lady's childhood is told in first person and spans from her early childhood to mid-twenties.
I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator was very good. There were some parts that were heartbreaking and hard to listen to, but overall, the book was very well-written. There were a few parts of the plot I wish were different, but those parts are what made the book feel more realistic.

Spielburg at his best
I'm an 80s girl and so when i see load of remakes or films with 80s stuff I'm kind of stop runing my childhood let me remebr how I want to remember. However I throughly enjoyed this movie. The plot is interesting and the characters so engaging the cameos of my favourite childhood movies are put in a great visual and entertaing way. I will admit for once i haven't read the book before seeing a film which is unusual for me and so i cant commment on if this film has done the book justice but as a film by itself it works.

Childhood come alive
This was one of my most anticipated releases of the year although I wasn't a super fan of Winnie-the-Pooh when I was little I did watch it now and then so I was excited to see a part of my childhood come to life. Although this is a family movie it is definitely not a movie for young kids that's not to say it's inappropriate it just wouldn't hold their attention this movie focuses more on Christopher Robin as an adult then it does Winnie the Pooh that being said I really enjoyed this movie it made me very nostalgic and just got back memories of a happy or easier time.
