Another classic from Jane Green

As is often the case with Jane Green novels, I started reading this in the early hours of this morning and have been reading all day.  I loved 'The Beach House'.  I loved the cast of characters who were real and flawed and believable.  I loved the main protagonist, Nan whose feisty, eccentric character was endearing from the beginning.  As always, there are twists in the relationships between the characters in Green's novels.

After discovering that the last of the family money has been badly invested and lost, Nan decides that the only way to save the family home in Nantucket is to open it up as a guest house.  Her son returns home due to another complex and failed relationship, only to fall in love with one of the guests. Daff, recently split from her husband decides to stay at the house and have time to sort herself out after her daughter decides to live with her father for awhile.  Daniel comes to stay so that he can be closer to his estranged wife and children. The relationships are complex, funny, endearing, and so very enjoyable.

I have discovered a wonderful female detective fiction writer, featured in this book and previously unknown to me, in Anna Katherine Green.  Her short stories are wonderful and I am loving her full length novel, The Leavenworth Case as well.

Popular in a prior century Anna Katharine Green is still one of the best mystery writers out there. She tells a great story, her plots are well thought out, characters well developed, and descriptions put you in the story. This collection of short stories shows off her skill very well. I highly recommend this collection.

This book is another great work by John Green. The characters complex, the storyline entertaining. I gave it four stars because it left me wanting something I can't quite explain.

The last book by Green I read was Paper Town, and boy o boy what an entertainer it was. And this one is even better, the best thing about john has been his mastery with words, those quotes that touches your heart. Here again in this book he pulled out some of those memorable quotes. Marvellous, I am a fan,

I rate five stars because John Green absolutely nailed this book. The humor and the romance makes this a book I will remember for a while.

The Sunshine Sisters by Jane Green is a phenomenal novel about the complexities of families. Green dives very deep in this one and I found it to be a moving novel with down to earth and lifelike characters. What I also liked about this novel is the fact that I was hooked to the pages. Sure, a lot of books are catchy and grasp their readers attention from beginning to end, but somehow, this one was different. I was EXCITED to read it. I wanted to pick up the book even when I was busy (summer is such a busy time of year in my life), and I absolutely did NOT want to put it down. I was enthralled in the lives of these characters and utterly addicted to the story because of them. Perhaps this is one of Jane's best. After all, I don't think it's the type of story that I will soon forget. Even more, I can't remember the last time I read one of her novels and I used to be such a huge fan. But I know that I am now going to continue reading based on this one. So if your a fan of the author and/or enjoy women's fiction novels that detail the hardships of family and how to make amends again then I implore you to read this one. It's certainly one of the best that I have read in a very long time.

I've read all but one of John Green's books and have loved them all. This weighs in different for me than his other work but follows his unique sense and style of writing, in my opinion. Interesting (perhaps relatable?) insights and touching story.

I love Jane Green.  She is probably my very favorite author in the whole world.  I have had this book for years (it was published in the UK ages ago) and I think that people are going into this book thinking it's new and will be up to her current standards.  That is not the case.  This is her very first book and only shows moments of her talent and brilliance.  Later books really express how much she had grown and how very talented she really is.
That being said --- this book is still really good and right up there with other "Chick Lit" books on the market today.  It holds it's own against those currently being published - but might pale in comparison to her previous offers.  If you go into this as any other chick book - you'll be fine.  Just don't think this is a NEW Jane Green book.  You might be disappointed.
Cheers!

First time I've read a Jane Green book and I will definitely read another.,,  You are cheering for Elliott all the way through, but you understand why our forty-three year old main character did what she did.  We felt like we were right inside her mind.

This was one of Jane Green's best books. It kept you steadily interested as well as concerned about the outcome.  I hated to see it end.

This book is a classic for a reason. Jane is a heroine the reader can embrace.  The writing is flawless; Charlotte Bronte can evoke such genuine emotion.  If you want a book that you can immerse yourself in this is it.  I'm not one to re-read a book after I've already read it but Jane Eyre is one of my few exceptions.  This book should be in every library.
