If I wanted a recipe at the end of every chapter I would read a cookbookThis is a touching and well-written novel. I would give it four stars except for the irritating fact that the author got cutesy and used an irritating gimmick. Every chapter has a reference to food in it, and at the end of that chapter there's a recipe for that culinary delight. I found it impossible to invest myself in the story when I was being jolted out of it over and over again by being hit in the face with a recipe.It would have been one thing if this were a humorous, light-hearted read,
Positive aspects-The author can write very well-The recipe at the end of every chapter-There were sad parts and I managed to shed a tear or two-Although cliche and almost predictable, the story seems really honest and true to lifeNegative aspects-Uninteresting cover-It takes quite a while to get into the real story or plot-I can't really get into the story at all-I had to skim through about half of the book so that I know the ending-Frankly, the most boring chick lit I've ever read
Its too sickly sweet. My first Jane Green book and most certainly my last.
It was genuinely heart-breaking,I never cried by reading a book like with this one.The book is wonderfully written and the characters are people you would want to know and can relate to.Would highly recommend
I haven't read a lot of Jane Green's books yet, but I've read a few and this one is the best one yet. After getting halfway through, I just couldn't put it down and chose to stay up way too late to finish it. It was such an amazing story. I don't even have the words to describe it accurately.Make sure you've got a box of tissues on hand.
Promises to Keep was clearly a labor of love for Jane Green. Using the life of a dear friend as motivation, Green wrote a love story about friendship and loss.Cancer has taken a lot from all of us, and Green does a tremendous job showing how cancer affects not just the victim but also everyone who loves him or her. Callie believed she was a survivor, but when cancer strikes her again everyone who loves her puts aside their differences and rallies to her side, as they should.It is this positive
