I was not very impressed with this book. It jumps around too much making it hard to get into and follow.Not even halfway thru I had to just put it away. It has a good story line if it was written differently, in my opinion.

I enjoyed this book very much. I liked the quirky way it was written. It's kind of how my thoughts flow...LOL. It's one I think I would enjoy as an audio book if the right actor was reading it...one who could pick up all the quirky sarcastic-ness behind even the character's pain. Not the most indepth book, but definitely enjoyable.

This book was awful. I can usually find something redeeming about a book, and can enjoy it for the guilty pleasure, if nothing else, but this book was creepy (and not intentionally). The characters were not sympathatic, and I found myself wondering why anyone would care about what happened to them.
But, I'm sure you'll want to find out for yourself, soplease order it, so I can get rid of my copy!

I had higher hopes for this book, especially since it was suggested to me by my Mom. It wasn't bad, just not what I'd hoped for. I never quite understood the main characters in the end the way I'd hoped, never really connected with them.
A poignant and heartfelt debut novel about the mysterious currents of love and loss.
Diana Moore, a 30-something professional woman in New York City, is brooding over her irritating dot-com job and rumors about her ex-lover's beautiful new girlfriend when the unimaginable happens: a terrible accident that turns her life upside down.
Seeking refuge from her well-meaning friends, Diana heads out of the city and ends up in the Pine Barrens, a rural corner of New Jersey, and an oasis of simple living and cranberries. There, in a place where nobody knows her, Diana is temporarily free--free to take a hard look at her life and to begin to explore avenues of change and renewal.
