The Land of Mango Sunsets (Abridged) Audiobook

" Ok. I liked it but not as well as some of her previous books. Kind of predictable & sappy. "

" My least favorite of all her books.... "

" Good book, hadn't read her in a while, but this reminded me why I started in the first place. I prefer more of the southern parts in the book, since this took place mostly in New York, but still liked it a lot. Definitely recommend it, great beach read. "

" This book started off pretty slow and at first the main character seems pretty shallow. I started reading it & couldn't get into it, so put it down and read something else. The second time I stuck with it and it grew on me as did the main character. Definitely not a heavy thought provoking read, but it was gratifying to see Miriam's transformation into Mellie with a much better value base. Good read to escape from the cold, wintery weather into the beaches of Sullivans Island. "

" This was my first book from this author. I was a little nervous to read it... I enjoyed the book very much and read it in a matter of days. The characters are enjoyable and fun. I have purchase several more of her books after reading this one. "

" Cute and sassy. Her gay friend is so funny and loyal. "

" This was such a funny book and it actually made me ball my eyes out at points. There was a part that described how the main character felt about her mother and I felt exactly the same. It was a great read and I had a hard time putting it down. Great characters! "

" The sudden change in character and perspective is somewhat unjustified , like all of a sudden she just shed the past and woke up ? still its moderately enjoyable... "

" Going to start this one today after I get the laundry done :-) "

" entertaining. end justified the slow beginning. would rec. "

" I grabbed this book at the airport while on vacation. It was an easy read and served its purpose. "

" This was a very enjoyable read. I laughed a lot, especially over Chapter 14!!! Filled with crazy characters in difficult and fun situations. Oh, and Charles is a horse's ass!!! "

" Meandered along and couldn't connect with the main character. "

" This book took me a long time to get into, but once I did I could not put it down. I laughed, I cried and I could relate. "

" I enjoy all of Dorothea Benton Frank's books but this was probably one of my favorite! Just so enjoyable to read. "

" Local interest - author talks about SC Lowcountry. Romance, family, tear-jerker "

" I loved this book. However I must give warning that it's a crier (at least I did). "

" Disappointed with this one. "

" Not my favorite of her books, but it wasn't totally predicatable, either. It was a worthwhile read. Still love the low country! "

" I liked this book a lot. I LOVED most of it. It became too sentimental for me. I'm just not a sentimental kind of girl. "

" Another older lady mid-life change story. It started slow but picked up into a pleasing little tale around the halfway point. "

" An excellent read, but then again Dorothea Benton Frank never disappoints! "

" I enjoyed this book as much as the other two I have read. Great characters good story. "

" I like the book . . . very entertaining but not the four star that i thought it would be. Glad i read it though! "

" As always, Dorothea Benton Frank does not disappoint. A little corny at times, but I liked it & look forward to more. "

" Not my favorite of her books. Not terrible though "

" wasnt jaw dropping great easy to read, entertaining liked some of her other books and their humor a bit better "

" Standard fare, sweet, poignant, and few deviations from the standard formula of a book of the type. This would make a light, fun beach read. "

" Another spectacular tale set in the Lowcountry. Charming writer. "

" I didn't like this one as much as Pawley's Island for some reason. If Goodreads had 1/2 stars, I'd give this 3.5 "

" I would consider ths book just one of those OK type books. "

" Very easy to read, liked i, very light, not a page turner, but good. I would give it 2.5 stars. Liked the southern (Charleston area) references as I spent time there as a child. "

" great read this summer! Fun, easy and uplifting. "

" I loved Kevin, Harry the bird and the line to Charles..."Well, what do dial tones do for you?" And I closed my phone" "
