Customer Reviews

Realistic

This was a book about five middle-aged women friends. It goes back into each of their pasts. I liked this because it added dimension to the characters and you then understood why they behaved the way they did in life and love. This is not a feel-good book. The characters all have tragic and depressing issues in their lives, which made it kind of a downer to read. But it also made it real. I was engrossed in this book and was surprised to see so many negative reviews. The author tied up the story nicely in the end as well. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially middle-aged women.

The Road Taken

If you love Rona Jaffe, you better put out an APB on her new book, due sometime soon called, "The Road Taken." This diva has got it going!
