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: http://laurareviews.blogspot.com/2009... no reviews | add a review
