review 1: A quick and easy enough summer read, mostly because not that much happens. Some of the plot lines introduced at the start of the book -- particularly around Dawn -- don't nearly live up to their potential, and just fizzle out. Everything was buttoned up a little too neatly at the...

review 1: I actually would give it 3.5 if I knew how to do that. :) As a Mom of 4 small children, I feel like she was pretty spot on with some of the thoughts and feelings Tina was having throughout the book. This was exactly the type of lazy, summer beach read (although I wasn't even clos...

review 1: This was such a sweet, short read. Those grannies were funny.God, I feel the love; family, friends.And most importantly..I think I read this at the right time. I'm having a rough time as well and I am trying to figure everything out, just like the main character is. Although, who...

review 1: I am a bit surprised by all the 5 star reviews. This book was just OK. I read and finished it, but it did not enthrall me like it did others. I thought both characters were shallow and unrealistic. And she was losing all HIS money? She had her own successful business. Wouldn...

review 1: I already anticipated that this will be as short as All Is Bright (where the story was told in Elise's point of view). The love story of Isla and Grif (as narrated by Isla) was as nice and as fast-paced as how it was written, which also made me warm up to them quickly. You don't ...

review 1: A vacation, completely paid for, to Jamaica. Who wouldn't love it? I enjoyed this book. I felt a huge connection with Allie and was surprised what all happened with her on the vacation. Tina was a fun and real character. It is easy to connect with her as well. Savannah reminded m...

review 1: It began with an interesting concept. I had never read a book like this before. It kept my attention thereafter while I contemplated what I would do if I was in Julie's shoes. At times, it would lose me with the main character's focus on money, but I continued on. As I was ne...

review 1: I loved this novel. It really captured my interest and was an easy read for relaxing in the evenings (well, days too to be honest). Although predictable in many ways, the author threw in a couple curves in the road.The characters were well done - you could both laugh and cry wi...

review 1: I had read a couple of bad romance novellas and figured a book championed by Jennifer Weiner and Jen Lancaster was worth a shot. It was a coincidence that I chose a story centered around family, really fraternal twin sisters, around Thanksgiving. I enjoyed this book and before I ...
