The Beach House Audiobook

" the Beach House is a very enjoyable read. "

" Fun, easy read with mostly predictable plotlines...though one did kind of surprise me. "

" The author has a nice way of introducing characters in this book. They all end up blending together as friends but more like a big family "

" Loved this Notting Hill-like story set in Nantucket. "

" Once I got past all of the adultery at the beginning, I really enjoyed it. Quite a few twists and surprises. "

" The story starts out with a 65 year old woman who tells us she is more confident and less worried about her looks at that age. It then goes on to describe how tall, thin and elegant she is and how beautiful she was when she was young. Despite her new found confidence she can't go out without her make-up on and is constantly thinking that this or that man would light her cigarette for her if she was 30 years younger. If she is more confident NOW what the heck was she THEN. Then we learn that she had an easy life after marrying into a wealthy family and has a house in Nantucket and an apt in Manhattan. I did not find her character endearing in the least even with her eccentricities. I don't relate to people whose beauty has acquired them all in life and especially when they are too stupid to actively manage their money and have to rent out their house to make a few bucks. I put this book down after chapter 2. "

" I could not put this one down. Great story and unpredictable twist. "

" Perfect vacation read! I couldn't put it down! "

" Very good book, mellow vibe and quick read. Not as captivating as her other books, but good anway! "

" A little slow in the beginning, but I like books where everything comes together at the end. "

" It was OK, definitely not one of her better novels. "

" Great story!!! She really keeps you interested throughout the entire book. "

" LOVED this book. Not sure I'll be leaving for Nantucket tomorrow, but loved the way the characters came together and the perfect happy ending. "

" Only liked it because it was about Nantucket..one of my most favorite places! "

" Nice light read. Good for the beach! "

" Reading while at work- keep it in the break room and getting through it 15 minutes at a time :) "

" Rated R. Did not finish. "

" I really liked this book. I would have liked to read more about all the couples. I would like to have met the grandma in real life. :o) "

" Cardboard. Not worth the paper it was printed on, etc, etc. I'm really close to finishing it, but I can't be bothered. I don't even want to read it to avoid chores. "

" a light, quick read. pretty predictable. "

" Chick lit with a bit more substance, and I was thankful for that. Some characters were better developed than others, and the multiple plots got to be a bit hectic at times. Still, though, a solid, enjoyable summer read. Recommended. "

" PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT PROBLEMS SPEND TIME AT A BEACH HOUSE FOR SUMMER. EASY READ. DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I USUALLY READ. "

" I like Jane Green novels. This book is good with a great twist that I didn't see coming. It is no earth shattering literary novel, however. "

" Having read that this was the "ultimate beach read", I took it to the beach to read. Big mistake. It is pretty depressing for about half the book, with people screwing up their lives (mostly by having affairs). I do not recommend it. "

" Delightful summer read! Interesting family dynamics, romances and friendships. Too bad it has a happy hollywood ending... but still a good, breezy read! "

" I like Jane Green novels. This book is good with a great twist that I didn't see coming. It is no earth shattering literary novel, however. "

" Very lightweight reading, but kept its hold. I like to read this kind of undemanding story from time to time! "

" This book was a light and fun read. The multiple characters' storylines were easy to follow and when they all intersected, it made perfect sense. Recommend for anyone who enjoys a good, quick beach book (no pun intended!). "

" If I'd known this was chick lit I never would have started it. I made it half way before wanting to pitch it out a window. Instead I merely sighed and returned it to my library. "

" Not worth a read. The author tries desperately to mimic real life in this novel but overdoes it and succumbs to a happy ending. This book left me scratching my head saying "are you kidding me?" "

" quite enjoyed it - found this slow to start but the characters were likeable and once all were at the house, much more interesting. "
