Great love story

This is a classic love story, but for most of the book, it's one-sided. That's because the ex-wife is in a coma!

This would make a great movie. Three Wishes (with Patick Swayze) was written by this author. Loved the movie. This book didn't disappoint.

It took a little bit for the story to get going, but not long, and when it did, you were drawn in to the characters lives. I thought the sub-plots really helped with keeping interest alive.

I definately recommend this book for the romantics out there.


Makes the ordinary into the extraordinary

I'm new to Delinsky's work - but well on my way to becoming a fan. I loved this book. The characters are human and normal. The characters met and romanced in such a normal average way (in college - very much like me and many of my friends), and yet how the author made it seem so wonderful and extraordinary. I've known so many Jacks - he's just such a typical character. And he makes so many classic mistakes. Not checking up on your daughter's whereabouts on prom night because you're afraid to rock the boat - this is totally believable. Particularly since he had been out of the loop for 6 years. Would Jack really turn around so completely in only 2 weeks? Maybe, maybe not, but it seemed pretty believable to me. And engaging. One would not expect this to be a page turner from the description, and yet it is.

What a satisfying love story!

Acclaimed author Barbara Delinsky has once again flashed her creative side in this explosive novel about reuniting a family torn apart by big business. Jack is a wealthy architect with a firm and more than enough stressful work. Rachel, his ex-wife, left jack in the city with his work and moved herself and two daughters to the countryside. These two dynamic characters set fire to the pages as six years after the divorce, Rachel finds herself in a car accident and comatose. Jack is forced to discover, all over again, the simple pleasures in life that he left behind to make it big in the world. Does Rachel wake from her coma? And will Jack be able to convince her to try their marriage again? There's only one way to find out!

A different type of book

You don't often read a book like this--at least with this story line. I kept expecting Jack to fall on his face and just chuck it all, but the author does a great job of making him into a human so that the reader can see what is going on behind the mask. I thought this book was pretty true to life--relationship wise. Sometimes, spouses expect too much of the other without actual communication, and when that breaks down, they need to figure out how to get it back. I loved how Jack was able to re-discover his kids and his talent.

A great book from a great author. Enjoy!

Sequel please!

One of those books I couldn't put down. I picked it up quite by surprise, as it had been on my bookshelf for a while. With fall in the air, it seemed a great book to snuggle up with. Not disappointed. Now I just wish she'd write a sequel to it and carry us along through Jack And Rachel's reuniting!
