"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."
— Meghan (5 out of 5 stars)
" 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. "
— Angela, 2/13/2014" 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. "
— Theresa, 2/8/2014" 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. "
— Traci, 1/25/2014" Absolutely loved this book. Very reminiscent of The Big Chill. "
— Mary, 1/24/2014" 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. "
— Marisa, 1/16/2014" It was a quick read. I liked the characters, and the outcome wasn't as predictable as I thought it was going to be. "
— Jen, 1/15/2014" I really like the plot of an old friend's death bringing old friends together. Jane Green's writing hs a certain focus on relationships and brigning people together. I find that heart-warming "
— Reina, 12/31/2013" I really love this Author but this book seemed like it was waiting for some dramatic climax that never happened. i still like her books but this one wasn't as good as some others i have read. "
— Bethany, 12/30/2013" Entertaining. Like a romantic comedy that you wouldn't bother seeing in the theatre. "
— Emily, 12/7/2013" Everything I could ask for in a great beach read! A wonderful story of old friends, new lives, and the road not planned, expected, or asked for. "
— Susan, 11/13/2013" beautiful book for adults and mature (lol) young adults. nice ending, and simply a wicked book :D "
