Product Description

Review

A striking and convincing debut novel - best friends Jenny, Rosie and Selin spent their teenage years making the wrong choices with the wrong men because tomorrow seemed a very long way off. Eleven years later Jenny realises that little has changed and is about to make her most inappropriate choice of man yet, a shy yet irresistible eighteen year old. But when tragedy strikes all three friends are forced to realise that the real 'growing up' is still to come.

Product Description

Jenny, Rosie and Selin have been best friends since school. Their teenage years were spent drinking too much wine in the park, dressing up for Friday night, and making the wrong choices with the wrong men because tomorrow seemed a very long way off. Eleven riotous years later, Jenny realises something. After more than a decade of waiting for her real life to begin, nothing has really changed. Here she is, still hung-over in the park, still dressed up in Friday night clothes and about to make her most inappropriate choice of man yet. But Jenny's not the only one waiting for real life to begin. And when tragedy turns their world upside down, all three friends are forced to realise that the real growing up is still to come...

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved It!!!, 7 Dec 2002
This book was bought on the way to Tenerife for something to read on the plane and I was definatly not expecting what I got once I started reading chapter 1! The characters pretty much jumped off the page and the relationship feelings and situations were so amazingly true to life as well as the heartfelt feelings between the 3 best friends. Its safe to say this book will have you in fits of giggles and in tears the next which all in all makes this book an page turning unmissable read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fab read ... (especially if you're 30 something!), 14 Sep 2004
By Mel (Eastbourne, East Sussex) - See all my reviews
I loved it! A touching and emotional, yet funny and easy read covering the changing lives of three best friends. A book you can definatley relate to if you're of or about to reach 'that age' and feel that you should be doing something more with your life. I didn't want to put this book down once I'd started it - but also didn't want it to come to and end. This book will have you laughing one minute and in tears the next. A book that gets you thinking and even nodding your head in agreement. A book I will definatley recommend to my friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, 24 Aug 2003
Growing up twice is probably one of those books you will be able to relate to if you reached 30 and were still single and into going out and having fun. It really touched me and took me back to that uncertain time in my life when I was acting more like a 17 year old than a 29 year old!
A truly great book from Rowan Coleman and I can't wait to read her next one. If you liked Bridget Jones Diary [and who didn't] you will love Growing up twice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not your usual chick-lit
First off - yes, this is the first novel from a thirty year old woman. However to dismiss it as part of the 'chick-lit' phenomenon is to do it a massive diservice. Read more
