I had such a good time reading this book! Even though I've never watched the show, it isn't really about Downton Abbey but the people watching the show.

I could relate to all the main characters in different ways. They were truly likable and I hope they're still getting together weekly to watch the show together.

What a fun read! I loved the characters and loved the intermixed story lines. And since I also love Downton Abbey I really enjoyed the book.

Three women meet while watching a weekly community screening of Downton Abbey. Each is going through a crisis in her life and could really use a friend. They find they can support each other in completely unexpected ways.

Their stories take some twists and turns, with some very satisfying endings.

This is a fun read - perfect to pack in your beach bag. If you're a Downton Abbey fan, you'll like it even more. It is a bit of a chick-lit/happy ending type, but sometimes that's just what the librarian ordered.

I did not get into this story at all. I read over one hundred pages but did not see the point of it all. The characters were hard to keep straight and the story seemed to be going nowhere. My stack of books to read is huge so I quit on it. I was disappointed because the premise could have made for a good storyl.l

I wasn't sure I'd like this book, not having ever seen Downton Abbey, but I should have known that Wendy Wax would not disappoint me! She is one of my favorite authors, and if you haven't read her three books Ten Beach Drive,Ocean Beach and House on Mermaid Point, -you really must!
This was the story of a group of women,all with so much drama going on in their lives. She delves deeply into each character,and you find yourself cheering for each one,as in all her books.
