Not Her Best - By: A. B. Taylor, 25 May 2008
Just to say I love Erica James but found A Sense of Belonging a bit disappointing.
I found some of the plot about Josh & his MS unconvincing, especiallly the rather unrealistic & simplistic way he & Jessica made up their differences & still ended up together.
I also thought Charlie's zealous determination to facilitate Josh's romance rather more feminine than likely masculine/brotherly behaviour.
Amanda very conveniently moving out & only leaving a note thus opening the way for Kate & Tony plus Alec ending up back with Melissa was also unrealistic in my opinion.
I have found Erica James' other novels to contain more authentic & life-like scenarios for example Love & Devotion & Hidden Talents where not everything is perfect or certain at the end.
Erica James for me is at her best when combining humour & relationship with a sense of real life.
Complusive reading, Erica James at her best - By: M. Lugg, 17 Sep 2007
I didn't think the write up of this book on the cover did it justice.

The main characters in this book are just so real & likeable that the pages seem to turn themselves so eager are you to find out more about them & see how the story unravels.

If you're already a fan of Erica James you will know how good she is & if you're new to her then please don't deny yourself any longer, buy her books they are fanastic, easy reading escapism.



great holiday read - By: alexandria1121, 18 Aug 2006
One does not go to Erica James for profound literature. That is not her target, which she has worked out & serves with great accuracy, & none the worse for that. This one fits into her general pattern of thirty-somethings with middle class lifestyles, good looks & no real shortage of money. The sub plot of MS is interesting & I am prepared to take other reviewers word that it is accurate. I got very tired of the character Kate, who is so beautiful that every man goes for her & so good. I just wanted someone to hit her, & I was not sorry when things began to go wrong for her, which was not I think the effect the author wanted. And her characterisation is weak & her actions not adequately explained.
Lose yourself in this.... - By: R. Chadburn, 14 May 2006
A fantastic, "couldn't put down" book. Its so very easy to read & before you know it the last page is being turned & your reaching for another of Erica James's fantastic reads. A story that reallly gets you rooting for Hilary & makes you feel like you are right there living in the village too.
Very good for anyone with MS to read - By: , 15 Mar 2002
Very enjoyable book - the only book that I have read by Erica James.
Some part of Josh's experiences with MS are abit scary but he copes very well.
Any inspiration for alll with MS
