Customer Reviews

A great book for moms and daughters!

This is a fun and engaging book to read, with short chapters that can be enjoyed in just a few minutes. Each story has a postive learning experience for all ages. I purchased the book as a gift for my 10 year old daughter, and we enjoy reading a chapter a night together. After each chapter, we talk about what happened in the story and why. It's a great way for the two of us to discuss the nuances of making friends, complicated or ethical choices, and how to make the best decisions about personal relationships. Then, I sometimes share personal stories from my own life. The book's stories take about ten minutes to read out loud, but the good mom-daughter conversations can go on for hours! Yahoo has published a "Chance Meetings" self-quiz for men and women. It's an insightful way to learn about your own personality; the relationship risks you would be willing to take with "chance meetings" in your own life. Try it and share it with those you love!

I love the book. My two favorite storie are Lorrie's lesson and Betsy's story. i think the format is extremely clever - especially with the lessons at the end of each story. and it's wonderful to have an uplifting book - such a validation of life!

A Must Read

This book is a must for all Valentine's. February 14th is the prefect time to remind us about love and Ms. Newman does so in a most charming way.

Warm, Fuzzy and Loving

Jan Newman's book is a compilation of wonderfully charming stories of how you can meet your True Love in all the funniest and chanciest places. For those of you not sure when he/she will arrive on your doorstep, Jan reveals how you will least expect it and there it will be. A MUST READ for everyone who loves LOVE, and realizes how serendipitous Life and Love is.

inspirational reading that gives hope to those looking for love

Chance Meetings is a book that will inspire anyone who is feeling hopeless about finding love as well as those who have been successful. The individual accounts of how people "accidentally" or "fatefully" found their soul mates is not only entertaining to read but will make you think twice about whether destiny rules in our love lives or if we rule destiny. Fun to read and insightful- a must for anyone, male or female, who is looking for love or has found it.
