Not one of her best - By: Ms. A. Archer, 18 Jul 2008 
I love Cathy Kelly but this had a weak storyline & was very dull & boring. Definitely her worst book to date. I read a lot on the train to work but struggled to get through this & kept losing my concentration. It was not a page-turner like a lot of her other books. very disappointed!
Fantastic Chic-lit! - By: Cherie, 08 Apr 2008 
This is my first Cathy Kelly novel & I can't wait to buy another. I could not wait to read it every day & went to bed early just so I could read my book in peace. I sat reading in bed 'til 1am as I was on the last 3 chapters & had to know what happened.
I thought the characters were described beautifully as I could visualise them perfectly. The ending was done brilliantly as I have never read a novel where the death was set so beautifully giving the detail of what the grandmothers sees in heaven. Can't believe anyone would find this book boring-it's great especiallly wiht thhe chapters relating to when the grandmother was a young woman.
Disappointing read! - By: Norma Jansen, 27 Mar 2008 I am an avid fan of alll of Cathy Kelly's books but this one was not up to her usual standard. Bought the paperback at the airport (glad I did not waste money on the hardback) such a dull & boring read. Come on Cathy, you can do better. Would not recommend.
Yawn Yawn - By: Carol Cunningham, 25 Mar 2008 
Since reading Woman to Woman in the 90's, I have been a fan of Cathy Kelly novels, eagerly awaiting each new one to be published. This one however, & I'm sorry to say this, is boring, boring, boring. I had to force myself to pick it up & continue each chapter. The central characters have no substance, the general storyline is very repetitive, & you get the feeling that you've read it alll many times before in other books, only better. I am still only three quarters of the book in & dying to get it finished, just so's I can move on to something else. I am sorry I wasted my birthday book token buying the hardback copy. If you must read it, only to see for yourself, then borrow it from the library. Don't waste your money.
Boring lessons in heartbreak - By: Mr. Ronald Barkess, 06 Mar 2008 I usuallly love Cathy Kelly books & thought i was guaranteed a good read in this new novel. I am so dissapointed & for the first time ever, ive quit reading it. The whole storyline & the characters are so boring. Ive tried to persevere but i think id rather watch paint dry.
I logged onto this website to see if other readers felt the same, but they dont seem to find it quite as bad as me, although they have said its not up to her usual standard.
My advice if you are thinking of reading it, DONT, Save your money or you'll be so dissapointed.
