Thank you to Emily Giffin for bringing these incredible characters to life.  The story of the Garland Sisters and the friends who become your family.  The story of how hard it is to find yourself and stay true to who you want to be.  Thank you.

It helps me feel prepared for whatever may be in store for each and every one of us: CHANGE!  A beautiful insight into life...this one as well as the next.  Thank you for sharing.

I absolutely loved every aspect of the story: The character development, the comparison between two lives that are so similar yet world's apart, and even all of the tragedy. I love it when I connect with a story so much that it actually emotionally affects me...and this one most definitely did just that. I couldn't put it down from the moment I started reading yesterday until finishing it just a few minutes ago. Now I am dying to check out more books written by this author.

Ardyce West has woven a wonderful story with some fascinating characters. I was a little hesitant picking up this book. The more I read, the more I got caught up in the characters and the interweaving of their lives over multiple lifetimes... I couldn't put it down!  Even though this book is fiction, it was a great reminder about how incredibly intuitive, tuned in, creative and generative I can be with my own life, and how rich my life can be in so many ways. An inspiring and fun read!

Reading this book, I found myself captivated by the story and the characters in it.  At points I simply could not put it down.  It is so well written and the characters so well developed I couldn't help being drawn into the story.  I really hope he writes more for us to enjoy..... a sequel perhaps?

I see so much of myself in Claire and Wes's story that it's almost frightening... Such a lovely read from one of my favorite authors. The book is so beautifully written and I honestly felt like I was going through all the emotions page after page.... I wished it was Christmas already, there is something about all the hope and joy it brings to our lives, just like Julianne's books. Love, love the "The Color of Heaven Series".

Like everyone else who read this book I COULD NOT put it down, I was up until the wee hours of the morning turning the pages, holding my breath, crying at times ....

There are so many stories here - the father/son relationship, the best friends, brothers, wife/husband - all beautifully intertwined.  This is one of those books that I have been thinking about since I put it down and I know I will read it again.

this is an absolutely fine book, a wonderful read, and so uplifting. i don't know why more authors and publishers don't wirte and print books like this.  it is so nice to read a story about ordinary folks and how real character carries them through the twists in their lives. you feel that you are right there with the folks, and you learn a few things about life.

it is a supurbly written story and so nicely crafted so that you can drift along with this family easily. also, he has touched on many difficult issues and poingnant themes without pulling too hard on the heart strings with mushy wording.  a real trick, that.

a truly enjoyable read. get a copy for yourself, and send one to a good friend.  dgs

I can not believe how consuming, wonderful and well written this book was!  I loved EVERY single page and was not dissapointed with ANY part of it...  This is a story that COULD happen, probably HAS happened and will leave you feeling like it worked out the way it should have...  LOVED IT!

What a wonderful read.... I'm an avid reader but not ususally this genre...I loved it and have recommended it to many friends.  I went into the book being told it was a true story.  Even when I found out it wasn't, I still enjoyed it very much.

I really loved these characters, the plot, the family dynamic and the way it was all woven together like a beautiful tapestry. The love between these characters, despite the hardships, was brilliant and definitely something we all want in life. Great read!!

This is truly and incredible read and it is so worth the purchase. I was so pulled in that I barely wanted to put the book down, and even though life and work forced me to, there was always that strong urge to pick it back up when I had free time. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read. I encourage everyone who comes across this piece to give it the time of day, I laughed, I cried, I  was caught by surprise and I was satisfied. If there were more stars available, all of them would be highlighted.

I was browsing in the lesbian bookstore, and came across this book;title caught my eye.  i started reading this wonderful book, and before i knew it, it was three hours later, and I wanted more. The story line, and the characters are memorable, most of which we all have met at least once in our lifetime,..or will soon meet.  The story left an impression on me that will last for awhile,..this is where I am in my life, and I'm sure others out there can relate to this wonderful story as well.  It is a must read for the romantic at heart.
