As their secrets rise to the surface, Tom’s death becomes the catalyst that changes them all, giving four estranged friends the chance to find a new beginning...

"I thought this book was really good... I love books with multiple characters and storylines. Also, I have read all of Jane Green's books, and will not add them all, but they are all very good... the only one that I wasn't too fond of is Jemima J, which I reviewed."

    " I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this book - it was one of many books a friend gave me when she moved. It turned out to be a good story and I really enjoyed reading it. The author showed how a tragic situation can bring people together, and while losing someone close is awful, people can grow from the experience and life does go on, even if it has significantly changed.

    " So far this book has much more social commentary compared to Jane Green's usual chick lit stories and I really like this about Second Chance. It's a bit more than the love story she usually focuses on. "

    " Good book - easy read. Made me reflect on friendships in my life, and I like how it always talks about that comfortable kind of friendship you have with people you've known FOREVER. Liked it. "

    " One of the few books I can say would probably make a better movie than a book. It's a British version of the Big Chill, essentially, with less interesting characters (although the obvious still happens: alcoholism, adultery, divorce, pregnancy). If you have a long flight, it's an easy read, but nothing more. "
