I agree with everything that's been mentioned in the other member's reviews. I was completely taken with this story from the first page. The author just grabs you and holds on, his beautiful descriptions are wonderful. I really felt like I was there. The character of Julie is drawn magnificently. How this author (a man) was able to write from her perspective just amazes me. The story moves at an amazing pace, too. The author has such control...very good. I laughed, I cried...every emotion was there, without any corniness or melodrama.

I've never been a big fan of the books on Oprah's book club, but this one was very good.
