Thursdays at Eight (Abridged) Audiobook

" Quick read. Nothing toooo deep but oh so enjoyable which is what I've come to rely on from Macomber. "

" An interesting group of women, an interesting concept. Not developed enought as a story. I ended wanting a more fuller relationship with the characters and more closure. "

" The story of four very different women: their trials, triumphs, heartbreaks, and successes. They met in a journal writing class and after the class ended, continued meeting weekly for breakfast to talk about their lives. A good portion of the book is told in each woman's journal entries. I found I could relate to portions of each of the women's lives. The story felt real and flowed well. "

" Enjoyed this one in Mazatlan at the beach. Definately an easy to pick up/set down kind of read. Sis-in-law read it as well. I can't say Macomber is among my favorite authors, but every so often I enjoy her work. "

" Didn't like it. Not my ususal read. Read it because of Book Club. "

" This book was a quick, easy read for me. It kept my interest and I like to read a book about friendship every once in a while. "

" I like to read anything she writes. She is that good. "

" It took a bit to get into, but evolved into a touching and at times heart renching story. "

" 'cause it's DM! She's kind of my fail-safe chick-lit author! "

" Not the greatest DM, but ok. "

" Very good book. Definitely a Debbie Macomber book-- easy to read, easy to fall in love with most of the characters and you just want to read more to find out what is going to happen. It helped me get out of a reading funk- finally! "

" An interesting group of women, an interesting concept. Not developed enought as a story. I ended wanting a more fuller relationship with the characters and more closure. "

" This is a quick, easy, feel good read. "

" I enjoy books about groups of people with a shared interest that wouldn't normally be friend if they hadn't met through their shared interest. In this case, it's a group of four women who met in a writing class and continue to meet every week after the class is over to discuss their lives. "

" Lovely book by Debbie Macomber. Each character seems to have issues and traits many women can relate to well. "

" Sweet story idea though the characters and plot line is a bit shallow. Some characters were incessantly irritating and some situational details were exactly the same as Macomber's other stories--a bit disappointing. "

" 4 women meet every Thurs. AM (journal group) Claire..bitter divorcee, husband dying of cancer. Liz..widow meets dr. Julia..has teen children and gets pregnant..has premie baby. Karen..youngest is an actor/teacher. "

" An enjoyable read even though I guessed how the women's lives would merge. Little in description of physical attributes so my own imagination pictured the women. Love the concept too... If only I could do the same each week. "

" Great book - well written and an easy read but an interesting story. "

" 4 friends, different ages,at different stages in their lives, meet each Thursday at 8 at the Mocha Moments Cafe. Sharing stories, lives and being there whenever, wherever they are needed. A great story of true friendship and how you can find it in the least likely places. LOVED this! "

" What a wonderful novel about women and the lives they live. So personal and real. Definitely brought tears to my eyes at times. "

" Wish I had a group of ladies to meet with every week. give me a Debbie Macomber book where she brings a assorted group of women together and they become like family. Her characters are so well developed and they evolve as the book progresses. "
