The Descendants of one of my all time favorite books. Since reading it, I've been waiting for another book from Kaui Hart Hemmings. The Possibilities is a fantastic book but it never seen to reach the point of greatness as The Descendants does. A solid 4star book with an interesting story.

If you loved The Descendants then you will like The Possibilities, but don't expect a master piece. ( )

Well, I quite enjoyed this book. No, that's not quite right, I liked the characters and the setting but the story just seemed a bit pointless to me. Sarah, the main character did change by the end but I don't believe that she needed the contents of the 274 odd pages to get there. ( )

Surprisingly funny despite its heavy subject material. I was in the mood for a novel set in reality, no magic, no experimental writing, and I was really happy with this choice. The dialogue is great and while the story is slightly predictable, it takes a few unexpected directions. ( )

Another good book by Kaui Hart Hemmings. Her last novel, "The Descendants" was smart and knowing, and her latest, "The Possibilities" is equal measures sharp and tender. A master of contemporary characters, her prose flows with an effortlessness that makes everything seem immediate and real. ( )

This book grabbed me right from the start; not because it's particularly tense in terms of plot, but simply because the characters and plot were intriguing. I enjoyed the minor twists, and feel that The Possibilities would be a great book group pick, as readers would probably disagree with some of the choices made. ( )
