This book felt like I was reading a grocery store novel. Thought provoking in the sense of imagining time travel and whether you would change anything in your life if you could. (

I really enjoyed this book. Its one of those books that you dont forget easily. I find myself thinking about it often. (corny I know!!) But the writing and how its all put together is great. Its alittle far fetched but hey anything possible. I would recommend it to anyone!!! I cant wait to read another one of her books. (

Book description

Have you ever wanted to rewrite your past? Three best friends, all with the same birthday, are about to turn forty. Celebrating this turning point at a summerhouse in Maine. Leslie Headrick, Madison Appleby, and Ellie Abbott are taking stock of their lives, their loves, and their choices. But none of them expects the gift that awaits the trio at the summerhouse: the chance for each of them to turn their "what-might-have-beens" into reality...when a mysterious "Madame Zoya" allows them to relive any three weeks from their pasts. Will the road not taken prove a better path? Each woman will have to decide for herself as she follows the dream that got away....

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0671014196, Mass Market Paperback)

What if a woman could go back to the beginning and rethink her choices for love and life? When Leslie Headrick, Madison Appleby, and Ellie Abbott first met, they were in their early 20s and the world lay before them with its infinite possibilities. Now that they're about to turn 40, they reunite for a weekend at a summerhouse in Maine where they share the details of their lives during the past 20 years. Each woman has serious doubts and questions about the path she chose to follow, but none of them suspect the startling opportunity they're about to be offered to relive those choices and change their futures.

Thought-provoking, entertaining, and downright delightful, Jude Deveraux's The Summerhouse deftly develops the individual stories of the three women in fascinating detail while maintaining the overall focus on the central tale. The ties of sisterhood and shared experience that bind the three resonate with depth and clarity--no wonder then that Deveraux is a perennial favorite with readers. There is little doubt that this volume will join her lengthy list of bestsellers. --Lois Faye Dyer
