I really enjoyed this book! The characters were great and I enjoyed the story line. Enough of mystery to keep me on my toes!

Not a terribly compelling story. Told all in third person.

I'm a Jane Green fan but this book disappointed me. It was boring. The characters were rather flat in personality, the plot and character actions seemed contrived and too many things just happened to fall into place.

I got the idea that she was thinking "hey, I'm the writer" so I can put this piece here and this piece right next to it and force them to fit together. Nope.

Not to mention, and very major pet peave of mine, is that since she is writing about Americans and putting an American "voice" with the story then she needs to have the "lingo" correct. It was very weird to hear the British terminology she used and was rather out of place. As an editor myself, I'm thinking her editors should have caught that disparity.

Beach Road was such a treat that I was expecting a whole lot more from her.

This book had been on my Wish List for at least 8 months, so I was really excited to receive the notice that it had been mailed and was on its' way to me. I really don't like writing negative reviews, however, I was very disappointed in this one!

The characters were at times annoying. I just couldn't 'warm up' or relate to any of them. The author's writing style just felt kind of 'blah,' which surprised me as I've read other books by Jane Green and enjoyed them! I felt that certain important scenes lacked the emotion that should have been described more in detail and it left me feeling like someone other than the author must have written it.

Honestly, This is my least favorite book by one of my favorite authors. Entirely too many characters, none with any redeeming qualities to be able to connect with on a personal level, with the exception of Kit. It seemed like it was building to some overly dramatic ending that ended with just nothing. Nothing exceptional. Although, there must have been something intriguing enough to finish it, I did want to see how it ended, so in that sense it did pull me in. But only to be letdown.

Nice summer read.

I thought I would be the only one who didn't care for this one! I usually love Jane Green but this book seemed so monotone the whole way though. I got 3/4 of the way through it and wondered if anything was going to happen to actually tell a story.

This is the first book I've read by this author. The story was interesting with alittle twist at the end. I look forward to reading more of her books.
