On Monday, October 09, 2006 I wrote on bookcrossing.com 7 out of 10 Well Thanks again. Read this 2 days ago and yes I liked it. An easy read. Lately most of my reads were quite depressing books so I am glad I had this one on my shelf to. A warm typical chick litty book. thanks for sharing. ETA: This is the same book as To Have and to Hold. I had that one on my wish list and discovered this. I don't like when they do that. I've always really like everything else I've read by Jane Green. However, this book just left me cold. It seemed like it just went on forever, going over the same things over and over, how lonely Alice was, what a cad, jerk, philanderer Joe was. I thought the book would never end. I just wanted to shout at Alice "wake up! He's cheating, can't you see that!!" aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This was an excellent read; intelligent chick-lit. The characters were real and believable. Even the lying, philandering husband and the women willing to cheat with a married man are portrayed with a degree of sympathy, not as cardboard villains but as flawed humans with problems of their own.
I saw where the story was going pretty early on, but it was still a treat to follow the fates of all of these people and especially Alice's rediscovery of her true self. I would eagerly read more by this author. ( )
