Did not want this book to end. I wanted to move into the neighborhood just to see what they would do next.

a favorite of mine, full of humor, hardship, and adventure. The character development is good and well-thought out, though some might see a cliche. Not a typical chick-lit novel, but much more complex. I really enjoyed reading it (twice).

This was the first of Lorna Landvik's books that I read and I was very pleasantly surprised. I loved the way she showed the reality of the ups and downs of long term friendships between woment. She really has a way of making the reader feel as though these women are personal friends of the reader. Enjoy!

A fun read..... Women in Minneapolis form a book club (e.g. title of the actual book) that spans 30 years. Chapters are cleverly arranged in chronological order and feature the Book club book and hostess -- and then updates her part of the story.

I was tempted to write down all the titles of books this fictional book club reads and try to read/reread them. Plot: Interesting stories about each woman's hopes, trials, challenges, and relationships with others in the club. All are characters you want to know more about as you go along.

I wasn't really sure how I'd like this book since I've seen mixed reviews of it and since sometimes I can't get into a chick-lit story where the characters are older than my parents. But, the writer did a remarkable job in creating characters who you can visualize and writes a story that just compels you to keep reading. I loved how the characters all grew as individuals and didn't annoy me by remaining static and boring. It just made them come to life.

The only reason that I put this down was because I got too tired to read anymore (I started this book intending to only read a couple chapters before going to bed around 3am and I stayed up past dawn.) and got to the point where the book bonked me in the forehead when I was "just resting my eyes so I could read further". But, as soon as I got up a few hours later, I was back to the book so I could finish it.

I don't care what age you are, there is so many wonderful things about this book that it's one of the best I've read in a long time!
