Typical chick lit topic with a couple of twists and turns that I didn't expect (maybe I don't read enough chick lit). I found the characters superficial at first, but I grew to like most of them. Not a lot of description, this is based on characters and events- thirtysomething English ladies and gents reuniting after the death of a friend and the changes in their life. Like a Mars bar, good but not high quality. ( )

A nice read, but it sort of fizzled in the final chapters. Good for a rainy Saturday, but not my favorite by Jane Green. ( )

The book jacket claims "warm, witty, and wise" but this story of old friends who are reunited and help each other deal with their individual issues just falls flat. I was never surprised or thrilled and, even though the author develops the characters well, I didn't feel a connection with any of them. I suppose the message is to enjoy life but it's so obvious for all of these characters what they should do to be happy. And, indeed, that's what they end up doing. Not recommended. ( )

I am a huge Jane Green fan and loved this one (I actually don't think there are any I don't like.) She has a new book coming out in June 2009 (Dune Road), which I can't wait for. I recently had the opportunity to interview Green, which you can see at:

disappointing as I like Jane Greens writing usually. This just didn't keep my attention. Get togethers after Tom's death, kinda like the movie, but the characters didn't click for me. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0670038571, Hardcover)

The New York Times bestselling author delivers another winning novel—this time it’s a tale of friendship and fate

Jane Green has become a nationally bestselling author with legions of fans through her novels about the true-life dilemmas of real women—their relationships, their careers, their loves, their triumphs and disappointments. In her latest book, Green tells the story of a group of people who haven’t seen each other since they were best friends at school. When one of them dies in a terrible tragedy, the reunited friends work through their grief together and find that each of their lives is impacted in ways they could have never foreseen. Warm, witty, and as wise as ever, this is a story of friendship, of family, and of life coming full circle.
