 Fluff with a little underlying seriousness..., 2008-10-22
I started this book thinking it would be some nice fluff. It definitely lived up to that. It was a light, quick read, but it was also really well done and a fabulous story. Oh, it was a little trite in places, but ya know... it's what I wanted to read when I wanted to read it. It was a cute book, but had a few deeper issues that were interesting, nothing ultra heavy, but very well done. Would be the perfect book to bring along to the beach or on an airplane.
 Horrible!, 2008-09-03
I don't usually do reviews, but I always read them before I order books. I know the other reviews were basically good, but I really disliked this book. So much so that I didn't finish it. I forced myself to read at least half-way, and just couldn't go on. What a boring, lifeless piece of junk. Don't waste your money.
an easy, good read, 2008-08-21
this is the first book I've read by Green. I hear others are better. this one was good. a couple of good twists and entertaining, good guy and bad guy characters, fun!
 (2.5 Stars) Not Her Best Work..., 2008-08-01
Bookends follows the life of frumpy, 30-something "Cath" and her cliched circle of college friends as she decides to quit her high-paying job and fulfill her dream of opening a local bookshop. The characters for the most part lack substance or chemistry, and do nothing to distract from the predictable plot. Jane Green is a good author, but this is far from her best work. Instead I'd check out "Jemima J" or "Mr. Maybe", two of her previous books which succeeded in ways that this one failed.
Kind of a Modern 'Big Chill', 2008-06-19
I read this book like I was watching a movie with a great ensemble cast, and I really enjoyed it. There were a few parts that were a little shaky and underdeveloped, but I liked these characters, and it was easy to get involved in their lives. As with most books by Jane Green, this one makes a good summer read.
