"This is a wonderful collection of verses for women, each with a modern little story and thoughtful devotional. Great little pocket size book, with each verses and story only being one to two pages long. Some of the verses were familiar, but it also led me to ones I had never really come across before. My daughter and I both enjoyed it."

"This such a great tool for learning about the American Revolution! My 3rd grader loves the Tree House books and this one goes into such interesting detail, he didn't even know how much he was learning. It was a great introduction to American History."

"I was late to the party of reading this book, but I am so glad I did get around to it. This is and "Outstanding Novel of Friendship and Its Importance to Women". It is not chic lit but it is a fast and compelling read. I almost quit when I started and the characters seemed more my mom's age than my own, but there is something for everyone in the characters of this book. And who doesn't love a book with a "book club" theme?"

"Beautifully written, wonderful story, heartfelt, kept me interested. If you read and enjoyed "The Kindness of Strangers" try this book. "

"The first time I read this I was 8, a little young, and it lead me to ask my quite shy father a question - which made him mumble - "go ask your mother". I just reread it on a whim, and I still loved it, it was very interesting to read now that I am a mother. I came away with something completely different from it this time. A timeless, great coming of age book."

"I enjoyed this at first, but was barely able to finish it. It just seemed like a really long travel journal, and the last quarter of the book was just dreary."

"In the readers guide in the back of the book the author says "You won't have your parents around forever, or your children... but a good friend can be forever." I had forgotten how much I enjoy reading Weiner. I used to read her books many years ago but I have moved away from "chic lit" and hadn't read anything of her recently. But this book was very entertaining. It made me laugh and made me cry. I will share this with my best friend from childhood."

"I don't usually read biographies and while I enjoy Tina Fey's work, I wouldn't say I was a huge fan. But I am so glad a came across this book! It was hilarious! And as a woman around her age, so many parts rang true to me. I will share this book with my husband, daughter, book club and anyone who ask. It was just a great read. Now I am off to watch some 30 Rock on demand................"

"Another great book by Chamberlain. I believe this is my favorite of hers that I have read yet. Chamberlain is one of the best there is at writing of difficult relationships."

"As others have said, this book really hooked me and kept me reading. The tension in this novel starts on the first page and never lets up. The characters are captivating, each has his or her own perspective on life, love and the kidnapping - especially love. There is a dark side to each of their perceptions of love, how they express it and how they act it out. Simply, a good, well written story, that makes you "feel"."

"I read this for a book club, and it was a fast read and it did keep me interested. I enjoyed the information about the Mormon community, I read that the author has good friends that are Mormon, and she lived with them awhile before writing this book. The author's style is much like Jodi Picoult. I will say that a few times I found the dialog confusing, but overall, I enjoyed it because of the lessons it teaches about forgiveness and how each of us has may have to take a different path to find redemption and to be willing to forgive others."

"I did not plan to read this book. I am a big SITC fan but the reviews here were mostly bad and I didn't really want to read another Young Adult book. But when I saw it used I picked it up and I planned to just read the first and last few chapters and then post it here. Well, I read a few pages, the backed up a few more chapters, then a few more, then I went ahead and started at the beginning. It was cute enough in a YA way, I enjoyed it. I could picture Sarah Jessica Parker as this teenager so easily, (but then I remember "Square Pegs" - do I date myself???). Anyway – maybe my expectations were low - but I enjoyed this book."

"I don't know what took me so long to read this one since I loved the first book, but this one was just as good. Great story, easy to relate to as the mother of a teenaged daughter. It was great to catch back up with Cannie!"

"A simply written story, but a totally captivating tale. For a more detailed story of Adeline Yen Mah's life, read "Falling Leaves," which is written for an adult audience. For children, "Chinese Cinderella" is a poignant and heartbreaking story of a young girl's courage and perseverance."

"This was well written and they did a great job of weaving the two stories/views together. If you want gory details this is a good book for you. Some of the drug use and sex acts were a little too descriptive for my personal taste. But if nothing else it will make you hold your own children a little closer."

"I liked this book. I picked it up used and then after reading a few negative reviews here (linked to the hardback copy, the paperback seems to have more positive reviews) I started it planning to quit it as soon as it bored me. But it never did. I enjoyed the characters and the family dynamic. It was well worth the read and the information on Turners Syndrome was very interested."
