  <default-description>&lt;B&gt;A sparkling new novel from the &lt;I&gt;New York Times&lt;/I&gt; bestselling author of &lt;I&gt;The Beach House&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; Jane Green&#8217;s last novel, &lt;I&gt;The Beach House&lt;/I&gt;, was an instant &lt;I&gt;New York Times&lt;/I&gt; bestseller and captured her largest audience yet. From the sunny green lawns of Connecticut to the caf&#233;s of London to the sandy beaches of Nantucket, Green draws from her own life to craft each delicious story and the resulting tales resonate with women everywhere.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt; &lt;I&gt;Dune Road&lt;/I&gt; is another fun and fearless adventure that will take Green&#8217;s many fans from laughter to tears and back again. The novel is set in the beach community of a tony Connecticut town. Our heroine is a single mom who works for a famous&#8212;and famously reclusive&#8212;novelist. When she stumbles on a secret that the great man has kept hidden for years, she knows that there are plenty of women in town who would love to get their hands on it&#8212;including some who fancy the writer for themselves. &lt;I&gt;Dune Road&lt;/I&gt; is the story of life in an exclusive beach town after the tourists have left for the summer and the eccentric (and moneyed) community sticks around. &lt;I&gt;Dune Road&lt;/I&gt; will surely be &lt;I&gt;the&lt;/I&gt; book to pack in beach bags next summer.</default-description>

The author flowed back and forth between the past and present, that I wasn’t sure if the next scene is taking place now or had already happened.

    <body><![CDATA[Wow, what lazy writing and/or editing. Do American men say &quot;Lovely to meet you&quot;? That is just the tip of the lazy iceberg. It is hard to feel any sympathy for the two-dimensional characters in this book, one who is mad because her husband let her spend all of their money and another who ow...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75993572">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I've been a loyal Jane Green reader for a long time, but I've really felt that her last few books have been weak. I've long enjoyed the fact that her unusual writing style exposes the characters' internal monologues, but in this book in particular, the characters are bitter, cynical suburbanites who...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73109040">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another pleasant surprise on the new books shelf.  It seems Green's fiction is keeping up with her life, because her books used to be set in London, but now that she's an ex-pat they're set in the USA.  This is the story of a newly divorced woman in a tony Connecticut suburb.  Changes and secrets ab...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76303309">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't necessarily hate this book but I didn't like it either.  It's very predictable!  And I felt like I was reading a book that a high school student wrote for a creative writing class.  Once I got about 1/2 way through I wanted to finish it just to see what happens but with it being so predicta...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65577900">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The book was a quick read and I enjoyed it while reading it, the story was very predictable and tried to throw in too many little mysteries.  I know Jane Green is getting older and now lives in Connecticut, but I miss the more youthful single girl in the city books from her earlier career.

    <body><![CDATA[I love how Jane Green ties her endings up in a nice big bow, but I didn't think this was her best effort.  It took me awhile to get into it, probably due to the large amount of characters all with so much baggage.  It didn't flow as smoothly as I expected either.  However, it was an interesting mode...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62225176">more...</a>]]></body>

I was wanted to know more about how everything turned out the way it did.
