Meh....honestly, I love her older books, but this, like a lot of her recent releases, was a dud. I had to slog through it. The characters are spoiled, pretentious and obnoxious and not really likeable at all. I'm getting tired of all the name dropping and product placement in these book too. It seems like all the restaurants on Nantucket must have a promotional contract with this author. Just tell the effing story. Maybe I've outgrown this author.Meh....honestly, I love her older books, but this, like a lot of her recent releases, was a dud. I had to slog through it.

This is a quirky, fun, heartfelt read, but I too found the ending weak and a bit too tidy. I must say I enjoyed Emmeline's British story more so than her Canadian one. At times it felt like a mashup of two different books.

Nice setting, but I read a third of the way before giving up...this story went nowhere.

I have enjoyed other books by this author, but I'm not sure what went wrong with this book. The writing seems sloppy, disjointed and juvenile, almost like it was dictated and never edited. I could not push past the first few chapters.

More of the same stuff from Elin Hilderbrand, a fast read that I enjoyed.

An interesting premise , but we found each episode kind of samey and the acting over the top in places. It's cute, but I can see why only one season was made.

Nicely photographed images, but this should be called 365 variations on four positions.

Decent suspense novel, but a few muddled plot points.

Writing almost the exact same sex scene every two pages and using the F word frequently does not make for interesting erotic fiction. A waste of time.

Is it romance, comedy, drama? Who knows, but it is dated and just not very good. The characters are not endearing and they "Ehrm..." an awful lot. I have enjoyed other books from Jenny Colgan so decided to plod on through hoping the story line would pick up. No such luck.Is it romance, comedy, drama?

It was just ok. The doll animation was good, and it was interesting at points, but it soon grew a bit tiresome. I found it hard to empathize with the main character, and it just felt like the story didn't go anywhere.

PurePure, BookInside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed A Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free

This is a thought provoking read, and definitely brings to light the shame that many suffer as a result of misguided religious teaching methods. Having grown up in a very conservative Christian home, I can relate to certain aspects-the unspoken ( and sometimes spoken) message to teenage girls is that sexual sin is the worst sin, and its their responsibility to control urges and desires and feelings, as well as not becoming a "stumbling block." That is a lot of unrealistic responsibility for a young women to handle. Whether or not it's fear or ignorance, or both, It is clear that evangelical churches across North America are failing when it comes to open, honest and healthy teaching on this subject.
All that being said, the writing and summary of interviews is clearly biased by the authors personal experience and is washed heavily with the "All Evangelicals are small minded, puritanical hypocrites" brush.This is a thought provoking read, and definitely brings to light the shame that many suffer as a result of misguided religious teaching methods.

I love Rosamunde Pilchers writing. She effortlessly whisks you away to her created worlds. I've read all her books before, but picking them up again is like visiting an old friend.
