Dull as Dishwater,
By Jan "toffeegirl" (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Second Chances (Paperback)
I have to disagree with the other reviewers. I read this book as it was strongly recomended by a friend. I was very disappointed. I found the plot dull, tedious yet predictable, esp in relation to the main character. There were huge gaps in the storyline. I found the overall impression left by the book was one of depression.

Complications of Married Life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Second Chances (Paperback)
This is the third book I have read by Erin Kaye, and like the other two I found it an enjoyable read that was hard to put down.In comparison to her previous work, I think Second Chances lives up to the promise of Mother's and Daughter's more than Choices (which had a plot twist that I will not reveal but seemed a little forced.) Set in Ballyfergus and Belfast, the book stays firmly rooted in the recent present with a more direct chronology than Erin's other books. The writing is clear and the descriptions vivid. I felt for the characters in the novel, wanting them to succeed and find happiness. Without an overly sugary ending, Erin gives her characters fulfilling destinies. Starting with a fairly black and white storyline, Erin fills in the back stories and motivations of each person well. The actions of the various characters were not predictable, but believable, and the outcomes could easily have gone in other directions. Not knowing what would happen next kept me turning the pages. I ended up feeling more sympathy for one particular character than I expected.

Very enjoyable read,
By
This review is from: Second Chances (Paperback)
This book dwells on the subject of romantic love and relationships - how your life is affected by the partner you choose, and how maturity changes your outlook. I found the characters to be very realistic and well-rounded. This is a very fast-paced book that was hard to put down. I would definitely recommend it. I thought it the best I've read by this Author - I think the plot and tempo were smooth and well-paced.
