I picked this up expecting an easy light romance read. Instead it was a rather sombre women's comic lit, heavier than anticipated. I'm not sure I did enjoy reading it. But the overall read left me ponderous. Which is why I decided to add it to the goodreads list.
Very good. Only thing I would like to say is that I think the characters made a big deal about the answers to the smallest problems.
I read this in September and I don't know what it was about it but it was amazing!
Not one of my favorite chick lit books, seemed like there were some great issues but they kind of got lost.
I am actually in the middle of this and I'm really enjoying it. I love this idea of being able to escape from your problems for a bit, even though the character's quickly prove that no matter where you go...there you are. The humor in this book is fantastic and the personality of the dog is just as sharp as the three women. My favorite character is Sally, and her ability to be sharply blunt (definitely a friend I'd want!). So, this book is worth the read, especially if you are needing an escape...more

This is one of the Red Dress Ink books that is not about a woman in her twenties who works in New York and wants a boyfriend. The narrator is a woman in her thirties in Australia who has an estranged husband. I enjoyed it. It was an easy read that was entertaining - no philosophical treasure, but a nice read. This publisher is a division of Harlequin, I am almost embarrassed to say, but I decided I need some light reading this year and it has been provided by my sister and Red Dress Ink.

I think I've read this before....unfortunately, I had already started the book and was into a bit when I realized I had read previously read it. However, I could not recall the story so I continued. I don't think it was any better the second time around.
It is a good, easy-read story. A story of two sisters and a friend who go through some bad, work through the bad, and get to the good on the other side--and that doesn't always mean a man...it is about the women.

Halfway through and it's still not doin' much for me. Fergus the dog seems to be the only truly interesting character. I think this premise and these characters had a lot of potential, but I found it to be alot of rambling with no direction. Every time I thought it was going to get interesting...nope, just more rambling. The setting was nice, but a little too familiar. To quote Jeanne, "Life's too short".
The story was very sweet and I appreciated the relationship between the sisters and the relationship of best friends. The descriptions of the small Australian town and it's inhabitants didn't seem that far off from any small town in America. The only issue I had was the length of time between alluding topics to the explanation.
I just like sisters & friends books. We all have hidden problems or things that scare us, but if we just learn to bring it out and talk to someone we love maybe it won't seem so bad or maybe they can even help us resolve it.
I loved the wit, the unconditional love and a happy ending.
Um, OK, the cover gave it too much justice. Not bad while I was reading it but when it was over I felt I had wasted my time.
Takes you out of the normal chick-lit setting of Manhattan or London, and out to the farm. Very cute and quick read!
Worth reading, although it was a bit hard to get into at first. There are some good lessons to be learned from reading it.
Cute, funny, quick read. I pretty much devoured this one in one sitting. Couldln't put it down!
An easy read; a book to take your mind of your own troubles and escape into someone elses.
Fun book. Easy to read!
Very light reading, (its published by a subsidiary of Harlequin, i am embarrassed to say)and its not one of those books you just cant put down. It is about 3 women in their 30's who for various reasons return home (to a small town in Australia) and work out some of their problems. An additional "character" is Fergus the wolfhound who i found to be delightful.

Having failed at becoming a ballerina with pierced ears (her childhood dream), Allison Rushby instead began a writing career as a journalism student at The University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. Within a few months she had slunk sideways into studying Russian. By the end of her degree she had learned two very important things: that she wasn't going to be a journalist; and that there are...more
