Very Enjoyable November 25, 2008 As an avid reader of chicklit and mum of a young daughter I was really excited when I saw this one on my local shelf at Tesco and it was a very good read.
The stories of the 4 sisters impacted by the death of their mother was both touching and entertaining. Each sister is different in her own way and the book takes them through the first year after the death of their mother as they each take on board the advice she left them in letters she wrote before her death and through the diary she wrote throughout her illness. Through their mothers thoughts and experiences they learn more about her life and learn to apply her learning to help shape their own relationships and lives.
If you like Cathy Kelly, Marian Keyes and Adele Parkes this one is for you. Cannot believe I've had The Reading Group on my bookshelf for a year or so no and haven't read it - am now looking foward to it immensely.
Enjoyable November 25, 2008 I was bought this book as a present and I have read Elizabeth Nobles's other novels so I was looking forward to this. I did enjoy it and in parts I couldn't put it down but I also found it quite similar to P.S. I Love You by Cecilia Ahern. The characters are all very good and it does make you think about the relationships that we create within our families and the way in which we test those.
Chick Lit Lover November 12, 2008 I absolutly loved this book. From the moment i started reading it i could not put it down. I have now ordered all of this authors books and i have just finished "the tenko club" which was also a fantastic read! I recommend this book to everyone that loves a great chick lit.

I took this book into hospital when I was having an OP. I read it non stop for 6 hours and all the nurses were coming in to make sure I was ok as I kept crying, I said its fine I am not in pain, its this book. OMG what an amazing book, it really moved me,especially as I lost my own dear mum to cancer (brain tumour)and mum left me letters. I could really identify with the characters. It is the best book I have ever read. The nurses at the nuffield hospital at wexham now have it, as they couldn't wait to read it after my glowing review! BUY THIS BOOK!
