53. Second Chance


While the online reviews aren't so great, I enjoyed this one. It is not like the chicklit of Jane Green's past and I think that's a good thing. I liked the mix of characters, the mix of voices and the real life story. Yes, it was a lot of drama impacting a lot of people all, but more and more I'm thinking that is real life too.


I couldn't find a description on B&N.com so here is a review from Amazon:


Tom Fitzgerald, a Brit living in the States, is only 39 when he kisses his wife and children good-bye and boards a doomed train. In the wake of his death, his friends, some of whom haven't seen in each other in nearly two decades, come together to remember him. Despite one night of passion, Holly and Tom remained best friends, and she thinks she is content with her picture-perfect life despite a lack of love for her husband until she reconnects with Tom's charismatic, introspective younger brother. Olivia takes a chance on a man Tom set her up with shortly before he died. An actress in L.A., Saffron has fallen in love with one of Hollywood's sexiest stars, but she is growing tired of waiting for him to leave his loveless marriage. Paul and Anna couldn't love each other more, but her inability to conceive a child mars their happy marriage. Peopled with her trademark likable, sympathetic characters, Green's latest is sure to have wide appeal.
