Book

Not My Daughter (2009)

Wow! Now I understand why there's a lot of controversy with this book. A lot of mixed reviews but as for me... I truly enjoyed this book. I gave it 4 stars because it got some boring parts. SOME SPOILER PART!!!But it was an easy read for me and I sympathize with Susan and her predicament (along w...

Book

While My Sister Sleeps (2009)

Meh. *Slight spoilers.* Not my genre. Flipped through it on a two or three hour flight. Not bad, but very family drama where it all ends up improbably well in the end, tied up in a neat little bow. The mother character was a witch on wheels in the beginning, with no concept of common sense or dec...

Book

Sweet Salt Air (2013)

Meh. I don't really care about the herbs that are at the center of this book. The story takes place on a fictional island off the coast of Maine. Two friends, Nicole and Charlotte are coming together again after 10 years apart. They come together to help each other write a cookbook. Obviously the...

Book

Book

Lake News (2003)

My overall impression of this book is that it is beautifully written and evocative in many ways. The description of the water birds as seen from a canoe by a patient and world-weary John Kipling creates a backdrop of peace which promises restoration, no matter what drama should occur in the live...

Book

A Woman's Place (2008)

This is a story about Claire, who has worked very hard to build her own business into a very successful one, while raising two children, and loving her husband, even through his failing business dealings. While on a business trip, she walks into the front door, soon to be served divorce papers, ...

Book

Family Tree (2007)

This book was bad on so many levels, I'm not sure where to begin. The characters were flat, unsympathetic, and completely stereotypical. (A bit ironic, given that I *think* the point was an observation of race relations and perceptions.) The writing was ok at best, with the dialog often coming ac...

Book

Looking for Peyton Place (2006)

I actually first read Looking for Peyton Place several years ago. I had just finished reading my latest book on the beach, and my mom had what was Barbara Delinsky's latest novel in her bag. I had never read (or heard of) Delinsky before, but it was the middle of a summer afternoon on the beach a...

Book

Book

Coast Road (2003)

I have read a few Barbara Delinsky- and in the few I have read, admire her for taking on wounded women. Let me amend that and say: wounded but strong women. In this book, Rachel is in a coma. Her best friend Katherine is a breast cancer survivor. In other books, one was in a wheelchair from a sno...

Book

Book

Three Wishes (2003)

I can't properly say how bad this book is.

Tall, ha...

Book

Book

Flirting With Pete (2004)

Main character, Casey, was flat and one dimensional. Delinsky tried to give her depth, but there was still something flat and one dimensional about the writing. Just didn't much connect with her except in the beginning scenes when she was talking with her Mom. I thought those were quite creative....

A Woman's Place: A Novel

No more." "Can you document it?" I could access his calendar on my computer. That would tell me when he had appointments and with whom.

Finger Prints

Ryan Cornell remembered. He’d been raised in the verdant Berkshires and knew well the joy of the leaf pile on the lawn, the delight of running and jumping and vanishing in its midst, then sitting back to breathe in that incomparable smell when the pile had been raked to the curb and lit. &n...

Book

Escape (2011)

Throwing my arms around him, I held on for several more, before easing back. His jaw wore only a five o’clock shadow this time, but his work slacks were wrinkled from the drive, his sleeves haphazardly rolled.

Okay. I’ll admit that thes...

Book

Flirting With Pete: A Novel

Pete held her by the elbows, steadying her. “Just me, just me.” “I thought you’d left,” she cried.

He smelled of the no-nonsense soap she ...
