Love and chills

I enjoyed this book so much I finished it in two days. The characters have real problems, but they're solved in a real way--in keeping with who the characters are. This is a lovely read; don't miss it because anyone thinks it's depressing. It's not.
If you're looking for a set of fairy tales, read the Brothers Grimm. If you're looking for characters dealing with real issues in a positive and life-affirming way, this is the book for you.
Enjoy!!

Fell in love with the characters... hated the ending

I've only read one other Jane Green book (Jemima J) and this one was quit different. Not that I should compare them I guess.
I would have rated this 4 stars if the ending hadn't been absolutely dreadful.
The book follows the lives of 4 friends that reunite after about 20 years because of a horrible tragedy. You fall in love with these characters.... although there is a bit of redundancy while describing certain people.
The book has wonderful humor, and realistic and heartwarming parts, but falls on flat on the ending for me.
I hate when brand new characters are introduced in the last chapter. =(
And when lives of those you want to hear about aren't explained. I'm trying so hard not to ruin the book.
If it had normal chick lit ending it would be absolutely fabulous.

Definitely Different

From the beginning it's obvious that "Second Chances" is a far cry from the chick lit we all know and love. That being said, I still enjoyed this book. True, it wasn't what I was expecting. It is full of serious topics such as death, alcoholism and infertility. But it's still a well written book. Jane Green is a talented author and this crossing on genres worked well for her. I'm praying that the next book is bubbly and chick lit-y though. I'd recommend this.
