Dedication 55 reviews
Emma McLaughlin, Nicola Kraus
Washington Square Press, 2008
No real payoff
Like all the others have written - the back and forth with past (80s) and present (2005) from chapter to chapter is definitely not a huge success. Too often, you have to read many chapters ahead to understand comments/incidents from previous chapters. It becomes a page turner because you want to ...

Meg Cabot's WOnderful End To A Great Series
+ Is Big Boned The End
+ Another entertaining Wells novel!
This is a great ending to the Heather Wells series. I have been a fan of the series forever and was hooked on the books when I read the first chapter of the first book. Some people may say that Meg Cabot is the typical chick-lit writer and she is, but in a good way. Chick-lit isnt a bad thing, not ...

Friday Night Knitting Club
I really enjoyed this book. It was fairly predictable throughout, though there were a few unexpected twists. The message seemed to be that we can't run away from our family, and family love overcomes all other.

Everyone kept asking what I was reading!
I read this book a couple of summers ago, it was during a timeframe when I visited the beach almost daily. I laughed so hard and so often that everyone wanted to know what I was reading! I loved this book, it's light-hearted, funny, and made me smile.
