More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Love is not an abstract idea. It is not saying 'I'm here for you, let me know if you need me'. It's making the decision, when someone close to you is in trouble, about what you will DO to fix as much as you can for them. It's a ‘doing' thing. A verb. For Callie, love is about looking after her family – her husband and two children – and their beautiful home. For Steff, Callie’s younger sister, love is about experiencing all that life has to offer without having to ever settle down. For Lila, Callie’s best friend, love is about finding a soulmate. And when she meets divorced father-of-two Eddie, she knows her search is over. For Walter and Honor, Callie and Steff’s divorced parents, love is about caring for the daughters they share. Then Callie gets some life-changing news. And suddenly the whole family is about to understand what ‘love' really, really means....

Format:Hardcover
Like other reviewers I started this book without knowing about the 'life changing event' which would take place part of the way through the book. I read most of the book while sitting in a hospital corridor whilst my husband was having a serious operation, so perhaps not the best place to be!
I liked the book but didn't love it. I didn't feel that the writer explored the characters in much depth, and much of the story was predictable and convenient. Some of the outcomes, such as that of the parents, were just too good to be true. I have known a friend suffer in a similar situation, at the same age, with the same outcome, and it just wasn't such a comfortable, attractive experience as the author painted. For such a serious subject the story was just too full of lovely homes, nice people and nice situations. Real life just isn't like that.
I normally enjoy Jane Green's books and my only problem with this book was that the central story just didn't fit with the rest of the 'romantic' tale. That being said, it was terribly moving and I can understand, having read the story of her friend on the bookjacket, why she wrote it.

Most disappointed to start the book and realise I've read it before!
This seems to be happening more and more, why are my favourite authors selling books under more than one name and conning me as I buy a book when I see they've got a 'new' release?

I have read alot of Jane Greens books and think she is a brilliant author..but this book by far is the best book I have ever read. Once I started reading this book about Callie and her family and friends, I was so captured by it, I could not put it down, and was totally engrossed from start to finish.
This book will make you laugh and cry...and even if your life has nt been touched by cancer, you will certainly feel that after reading this, your life has been truly blessed.
I would definately recommend this book to all...well done Jane for A TRULY AMAZING READ.

Promises to Keep
I was disappointed to find this was the same book as The Love Verb and still don't really understand why a few Jane Green books have different titles in the USA to those in the UK

a let down
What can I say, I was enjoying it until we got to the heavy stuff, which I eventually skipped through, too much for me and read the end although there were no surprises there

HOW DISSAPPOINTING - this book has also been sold as 'The Love Verb' and I thought this was a new book so beware if you are an avid JG fan
