book review


Holly is married with two children but not sure if she loves her husband. Olivia’s long term boyfriend left her suddenly, and she hasn’t gotten her life together since then. Saffron is a successful actress in Hollywood, but she’s in love with a famous married actor. This once-close group of friends has drifted apart over the years, but they are suddenly jolted back into touch with each other after the tragic loss of a friend. Their friendships are renewed as a result, and they come to help shape each others’ futures in unexpected ways.
Jane Green’s Second Chance is a well-written, readable story that moves quickly. It has moments of seriousness and sadness, including a terrorist attack, that take it out of Green’s usual chick lit territory—and might turn off some readers. The bottom line, though, is that Second Chance is a solidly enjoyable novel that will appeal to Green’s many fans.
I bought this book at the airport on the way to the beach. It has been forever since I have found a book I really liked. This one I loved. It was a fast read and made me think about my own life and relationships. I would highly recommend this one even if you aren't on your way to the beach. Happy reading!!
