    • Was the book good? Would I read it again? No, Wonderfully written and full of emotion, just not my type of book. Apr 13, Carol rated it really liked it. A love story of families: It's a love story on all these levels with a few twists and turns that we are accustomed to with Ms. I enjoyed it very much even though I had trouble reading it through my tears in a few places.

    Good summer reading at the beach or on a rainy day at home. A great Italian family that comes tog A love story of families: A great Italian family that comes together to help Angela through her divorce as she helps a down-on-her-luck teenager, Lauren, who comes to live with her and becomes her surrogate daughter and, in turn, helps Angela as much as Angela helps Lauren.

    As an unexpected bonus with this book, I could almost smell the womderful Italian spices cooking in the DeSana family restaurant. Apr 01, Dawn rated it liked it. I will refrain from commenting on the swearing and sex because that is pretty much my standard complaint. I liked this book. The complexity of the relationships was very interesting. I enjoyed the soul-searching that Angie, the main character, experienced. If you are going to read this book, don't read the next paragraph until you finish the book, it talks about the ending! Because of my own personal feelings on the subject of adoption, I was let down by the ending.

    Hannah set it up so that it real I will refrain from commenting on the swearing and sex because that is pretty much my standard complaint. Hannah set it up so that it really couldn't have gone any other way but it was heart-breaking all the same. I can't imaginge how difficult it would be to give up a baby that you love but at the same time, she loved her boyfriend enough to let him go. Couldn't she love her son that much?

    I don't understand the bad reviews of this book. Yes, the story lines were cliche - a teenage pregnancy and a woman who would do anything for a child she can't have herself. But I thought the way the character's lives weaved together was beautiful. I cared deeply for all of the characters, and though the ending was predictable, it worked. I think it works because, despite the cliches, Hannah draws the reader in and makes the characters mean something.

    I read it so easily seeing myself in either I don't understand the bad reviews of this book. I read it so easily seeing myself in either position - and I have never tried to have children. But I understood the longing, the fears, and the love that the two shared. I have another book by Kristin Hannah that I look forward to reading.

    Apr 24, Stacey rated it really liked it Shelves: Except the family is Italian, not Greek. Easy, quick read perfect for a beach weekend or long flight. Touching characters and great albeit predictable plot. Kristin Hannah is one of my new favorite authors. This book was a great read! She is very good at weaving a tragedy into a happier package.

    I try not to give out 5 star reviews too often. But this was a masterpiece that had me crying and cheering. What an amazing author Kristin Hannah is. A little town west of Seattle on the ocean has a fun, quirky little community. And an Italian, family run, restaurant that can change people's lives. We get Angela, who divorces her husband, and longs for a baby We also get Lauren, a neglected te I try not to give out 5 star reviews too often. We also get Lauren, a neglected teen with a horrible white trash bar bunny mother, who longs for a real family and career.

    They both need each other, more than they can imagine. This is like the two movies: I may have to buy this book. Sep 28, Colleen rated it liked it. This novel has such compelling characters that were very endearing and interesting. The plot developed nicely; I enjoyed the story so much in the beginning and it kept me completely interested in it. However, it felt semi predictable after that or slightly less compelling. Could he have been less so? I know she had a hidden story. Leuke verhaallijn, leuk geschreven, knap werk! Het boek heeft zeker geen makkelijk thema, je kan niet rond het verdriet, de pijn, mensen loslaten, maar het bellicht ook de mooie kanten, hoop, vooruitkijken, Het 2de boek dat ik van deze schrijfster lees, en hoewel ik het vorige goed vond, is dit nog een pak beter.

    Life and Love are filled with ups and downs. For Angie and Conlan they have had some huge ups and some very low downs. Angie and Lauren meet each other at just the right time. Their road is a rough one and they come to find something that they both need in their lives. A book about healing some deep wounds and finding love and family.

    Apr 13, Jesper rated it liked it. A fast-pacing story about two women bonding over the same thing and helping each other. Admittedly and surprisingly heart-warming and gripping.

    And even though the story is predictable and unoriginal, the ending was wonderfully touching and honestly I couldn't stop reading. I've had to know how it ends.

    Well done Kristin Hannah! Aug 26, Kimberly Jackson rated it it was amazing. I was definitely not expecting this ending. Angie is one woman that I can say stands up for what she believes in.
