review 1: Sophie was just broken up with and wants to know why. We’ve all been there, trying to analyze exactly what went wrong or exactly what went on in the mind f our former significant others. We wallow, then we get lost in work, going out, hobbies, whatever until we finally move on. It’s not an original pot, but it’s still got potential – at the start.Page has promise as a writer, there were some passages that were eloquently written, unfortunately her lack of focus keeps the book, and characters shallow. The story is littered with unnecessary details and pages of description. The group of girlfriends little more than a collection of foils, and Sophie herself so flat it’s hard to care about anything she’s going through.The story would have been better served going d... moreeeply into one plot line than giving surface treatment to the dozen or so plot lines the reader has to keep up with: break ups, infidelity, cheating friends, forgiveness, acceptance, death, grief, starting a new business, non-committal boyfriend, the slutty friend (and the slutty cheating friend), and a few others for good measure.While Page has some skill, her lack of a narrow plot and in-depth characters will cause me to pass on the rest of this series.Read it if: you want a light, short read you can pick up, finish, and forget.Skip it if: you’re looking for chick-lit with substance.
review 2: When Girlfriends Break Hearts is a delicious read! I sympathized with Sophie right from the start, and felt angry on her behalf. Her friends are all extremely well-developed characters, and I have to say my favorite one is Claire, who says, "When life deals you lemons, you make lemon chiffon cupcakes." Love it!Best to read this book with something sweet at the ready. Sophie is a baker/pastry chef, and the many descriptions of petit fours, cannolis, cupcakes, puff pastries and more certainly got my stomach rumbling. In this tale of friendship and forgiveness, Savannah Page's descriptions are so vivid, you can easily picture yourself in the story. Two thumbs up! less
