Philippa Gregory's follow-up to The Other Boleyn Girl does not disappoint. This book is 515 delicious pages - it had me reading every chance I got and long into the night. When it ended, I longed for more.

I was pleasantly surprised by this very moving yet humorous novel. Although I felt the story dragged a bit towards the end, I enjoyed it very much. I will continue to think of Rose and Ruby for some time to come.

This book was addictingly readable and so incredibly good that I tore through it in two days and couldn't wait to re-post it for the next person to read. Janice Erlbaum's memoir of her year with "Sam", a teenage girl she meets in a homeless shelter, is compelling to say the least. She wants to save Sam, and in doing so she ultmately finds and saves herself. Extremely well-written. I went and immediately put her first book "Girlbomb" on my wishlist and can't wait to read it.

What an engrossing tale of two sisters with a surprise ending I never saw coming. It will have you reading long into the night. You will think of Carrie and Emma long after you finish this book, I know I do.

I read this book in a day and a half, and laughed and cried my way through it. Keely Corrgian writes her memoir with honesty, integrity and humor. At the end I found myself wanting to know more about her and her family, she seems like the type of person you could sit and have coffee with and talk for hours. I loved the book and highly recommend it!

I enjoyed this book immensely. It is one of those that grabs you from the first page and is hard to put down because you truly care about the characters and want to know what happpens to them. I think these characters, the range and depth of emotion, and the subject matter will hit home with lots of other readers like it did me. It's an inside look at a marriage that is both painful and funny at times.

This was a lovely coming-of-age story that takes place during the summer in the life of a 14 year-old girl. I was truly reminded of my teen years and all of the emotions I had felt back then as Jamie struggles with relationships with friends, boys and family members. It is a little gem of a novel.

A very good book. Engrossing characters and storyline, one that is hard to put down until you reach the climatic ending.

I really enjoyed this book and found myself engrossed in it over the course of a weekend. What struck me most was how deeply I felt the narrator's feelings. A fast read that will keep you thinking about the characters for some time.
