Loved this Jane Green read; really got all caught up in the family members, and their lives. Jane Green does not disappoint. Some heartbreak in this one for sure. Thank you, JG!4.5 starsOh gosh, what a story! Hows it possible I have not read a Jane Green book until now! I will hunt for her other books asap.I expected this book to be a light and happy read but nope, it was a tearjerker and a half, thank goodness for the recipes at the end of each chapter which gave me a few moments to calm myself, although I did shake my head a few times at the huge amount of sugar that is used in most of these recipes. But still, I loved this book!Steffi and Callie are amazing sisters,
I haven't read a lot of Jane Green's books yet, but I've read a few and this one is the best one yet. After getting halfway through, I just couldn't put it down and chose to stay up way too late to finish it. It was such an amazing story. I don't even have the words to describe it accurately.Make sure you've got a box of tissues on hand.
OMG - such an amazing book! It is hard to read at times - I want to say why, but I don't want to ruin the story for people! I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more, and then I completely bawled my eyes out! Then, still, it managed to leave you hopeful at the end.... Jane Green is still in my mind the most amazing writer ever.
Wow, after reading this, I looked at the reviews on here and found so many raves. I am puzzled. I thought it was dreck, really mawkish and painful to get through (I have got to break myself of the habit of finishing any book I start to avoid slogs through treacle like this). The characters in this book are all women defined by their relationship to men (and to a lesser extent their children) and all living magical little lives where everything falls into place, well, with one major exception -
This book was a complete waste of time. I should have quit a long time ago, but I won't lie - I did want to know how it ended. I grew very tired of the anti-feminist, traditional gender roles agenda, though. Women who didn't want children ended up pregnant and being happy with babies because of a dying woman's wish. None of them was single by the end. They couldn't be happy unless their lives were on a specific (marriage and babies) track. It became very old. I thought this story was sad and
