  <default-description>&lt;b&gt;On the heels of her national bestsellers Jemima J and Mr. Maybe, British sensation Jane Green delivers a sparkling tale of old friends reunited and old jealousies rekindled.&lt;/B&gt;

Catherine Warner and Simon Nelson are best friends: total opposites, always together, and both unlucky in love. Cath is scatterbrained, messy, and&#8211;since she had her heart broken a few years back&#8211;emotionally closed off. Si is impossibly tidy, bitchy, and desperate for a man of his own. They live in London&#8217;s West Hampstead along with their lifelong friends, Josh and Lucy, who are happily married with a devil-spawn child and a terrifying Swedish nanny, Ingrid.

All&#8217;s well (sort of) until the sudden arrival of a college friend&#8211;the stunningly beautiful Portia, who&#8217;s known for breaking hearts. Though they&#8217;ve grown up and grown apart from Portia, the four friends welcome her back into the fold. But does Portia have a hidden agenda or is she merely looking to reconnect with old friends? Her reappearance soon unleashes a rollicking series of events that tests the foursome&#8217;s friendships to the limit and leaves them wondering if a happy ending is in store.

Fortunately, Cath has plenty to take her mind off Portia&#8217;s schemes&#8211;like her gutsy decision to leave her job in advertising to fulfill her dream of opening a bookstore. And then there&#8217;s James, the sexy real-estate agent who keeps dropping by even after the bookstore deal is done. With his irresistible smile and boyish charm could he be the one to melt Cath&#8217;s heart?

Told with Jane Green&#8217;s captivating wit and flare, &lt;i&gt;Bookends&lt;/I&gt; is above all a story about friendship&#8211;its twists, turns and complications&#8211;and how it weathers the challenges of love, ambition, marriage, and, most of all, growing up. Warmhearted, sophisticated, and full of delicious surprises, Bookends is Green&#8217;s most dazzling novel yet.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of those books that I like to read in the dead of winter, or the heat of summer. It makes it ok to be a dorky girl who wants to own a book shop. It's completely fluffy and teary and doesn't prompt too much thought. Once I do think about it, it looses some of sheen. I didn't love the rela...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16257261">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My friend Jessica loaned me this book because I had previously read Jane Green's &quot;Mr. Maybe&quot; and &quot;Jemima J&quot; and enjoyed both of those. She also thought I would enjoy it because I have always wanted to open up a bookstore. However, I found this book hard to get into.

    <body><![CDATA[I would call this &quot;chick lit with substance.&quot;  Some of the &quot;and then we all laughed&quot; scenes were a bit forced (easier to believe when the reader is laughing along with you), but overall an easy read with heart.

    <body><![CDATA[I'm a big fan of Jane Green... Jemima J is my favorite chic-lit for sure.  This book, however, was not Jane's best.  The story was mostly unoriginal, and the writing for the second half bugged me.  It was very cliche and predictable.  The characters were likeable, but uninspired.  Despite all that, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61721975">more...</a>]]></body>
