I highly reccomend this book to women. A story of woman's struggles with herself, society and not settling for what is expected of her.

I thought this book was a good read. Both a tear jerker and comical as the Beaches was. It isn't something I would read over and over again as I did with Beaches.

This was by far the best wedding planning book that I bought (and I bought many!) I reccomend this book to anyone I know getting married and tell them to skip the rest. This book keeps you organized in one place and is small enough that you can carry it everywhere with you (which you will...)

One of my favorite books - I have read this a few times. A heartbreaking love story. A small book - you could read it in one sitting.

This book was very disturbing. I kept thinking I should stop reading it because I disliked the characters so much, but I am glad I finished it. It was worth it in the end.

I tried very hard to get into this book because of all the great reviews, but I read and read and read it and couldn't get into it.

A good summer beach read. Funny and not to be taken seriously. The type of book I like to read between drama and mysteries.

Haunting. It seems to drag on, yet I couldn't put it down. It was definitely worth the read. The love story between the father and son is heartbreaking and beautiful.

This book was very sad for me. You just want to pull the husband by the hand and tell him to move on and that he is better off without his cheating wife, but in the same breath you want them to work everything out. I found myself mad at the wife and identifying with her at the same time. I thought the emotion of the book was very real.

This book is beautiful and cute at the same time. I love looking at the photos of these weird little creatures. I have not attempted to make one yet, but I am excited too.

Heavy and sad. Written about a missing child, Emma. I thought that the conclusion regarding Emma was a little unrealistic, but everything else was so real and heartbreaking. Some parts of the book in the middle were a little long and I found myself skimming the pages, but I still could not quit reading.
