This was a fantasy read but by the time I was half way through I could not put it down. I HAD to know what happened! 3 women who met in New york on their 21st birthdays meet again 19 years later. All of them have some regrets and NOT-SO-MUCH by chance they get to go back in time to see if they want to change the paths of their lives.2 of the three do but they all benefit from the experience. The only disappointment was the very end...a little flat to me. And the fact that I wanted to be able to do what they did and I can't!! Oh - to be 21 again knowing th things I know now! Jeanette

Let me start out by saying this is a must read. It is light, easy and fun. It is not meant to be believable!! That is why they call it fiction! My only complaint is that Jude condensed 3 stories into one book. Although it keeps the action going, I feel too much of each character was overlooked. I loved all 3 main characters and would have liked each of their stories told in full. All in all, though, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys escaping into a book.

Traveling home from by myself on a four hour drive I needed something to pass the time. So I stopped to look for an audiobook that would keep my interest. At first I was wanting something I could learn from, but the storyline of this book intrigued me. I love stories about time travel of sorts. Also, these three women are my age -- I too will turn 40 this August.I tell you, I couldn't stop listening. In fact I was home and the story had me so involved when I pulled up in from of my home I didn't want to get out of the car. I was only on the second tape! Each time I got back into the car I was rivited.Two days later on shorter trips (I travel a lot in my business) I finished the book -- I LOVED IT! Oh, I guessed pretty much what was going to happen, but the story was so well described that I could escape and be fully entertained which was refreshing since I rarely get a chance any more to read anything for fun.If you want a fun, but warm and light story -- This is the one!!

This is my first Jude Deveraux book. I really enjoyed the complex characters and hearing all of their stories individually of what they had gone through in their lives since the last time they saw each other. I was really surprised about the lady who sent them back in time. It really gave an interesting twist to an other wise simple character story. It added a little magic. I really enjoyed it though and have passed it on to a friend. I can't wait to see what she thinks of it all.

Leslie, Ellie and Madison are all aging former beauties that know eachother by only one chance encounter 19 years ago. When Ellie gets the chance to invite them to spend thier 40th birthday together, all three meet in a quaint Maine town. They see that life has been kind to none of the girls. Suddenly they get a chance to "rewrite" thier past, but do they right all that is wrong? This book is a wonderful exploration of the "what might have been's" that most people undoubtedly go though. All though sacchrine sweet at times, biting sarcastic dialouge will holds the non-romantic personality captive.

I'm in a downward spiral and cannot stop collecting Deveraux novels. I need to stop. She just simply has lost touch with me, her greatest fan. Please bring back the days of Knight in Shining Armor and The Black Lyon. The Summerhouse is yet another installment of her "I really am tired of this writing thing, but I have a contract!" saga. I've had enough of the time-travel. It worked a couple of times, but it's time to just let it go! Bring back the Montgomery MEN!!! Gone are the days when I darted to the romance section to see if there was a new Deveraux about. Gone are the days when I finished a Deveraux in a day. They're just too hokey and uninteresting and way too materialistic. Bring on the HISTORICALS. Whisk ME away to another time. That's what I used to love about Deveraux and I hope to have that love in my life again.
