review 1: Great easy read. Sometimes those are nice. I really liked the book itself; as it is similar in a way to Beaches the movie. The only thing I kind of found tacky, was how the two best friends fell for the same guy and also slept with him. One only truly had his baby though. And eve...

review 1: What can I say, I am a sucker for a good old-fashioned Christmas story. This was no exception to my rule. I liked how the author told the story from different perspectives i.e. Nicole, Kennedy, Maddox, and Snix/Pooh. I especially liked it when she told the story from Snix/Pooh...

review 1: It is probably unfair of me to review this, at all, since I could not bring myself to finish it. It is so obvious that the family was manipulated by an outrageous act. Jenny is so spoiled and self involved that she has no redeeming qualities, Arden and Meg are so damaged by their...

review 1: This is a book I picked up at the library on a whim, just looking for a light read. For the most part, I got what I expected. Unlike several of the people who wrote reviews that I just skimmed over, I don't have any complaints about the moral issues of the book. I feel like most ...

review 1: Cheesy, corny, predictable but somewhat addictive. Once I got past the first couple of chapters I found myself looking forward to hearing more. You pretty much can figure out what is going to happen and almost groan with the cliched situations, descriptions and people but there i...

review 1: I went back and forth between Thayer and Hildebrandt when it came to these fun beach reads. Overall I prefer Thayer's books and I found this one to be the one I enjoyed most (maybe because I read it relatively early on in the summer). I really liked the multi-generational voices...

review 1: It's not the girly, suspenseful romance I thought it would be. I didn't become attached to any of the characters only maybe Natalie, the new up coming artist because I love to paint. But seriously her story, Natalie, was boring I only continued to read just to find out what her o...

review 1: Thanks to BookBridgr and Headline for the ARC of this book.I don’t like to be mean about books, I certainly don’t have the skill or patience to write one, but I don’t have much good to say about this one. It reads like it was written for a five year old. It has such a simplistic ...

review 1: Sometimes it behooves you to pick up a sweet little book from the library that can be read in an evening. One that you know will make you smile and feel good without worrying about how well it was written. My last trip to the library, I picked up three light movies (I'm in the mi...

review 1: I really liked this book. It was a quick read, yet touched on some topics we all encounter in our own families, so it makes you think. Family members with all their faults and imperfections, not always doing the right (or even smart) thing, the jealousies, etc. I thought the m...
