Cranberry Queen

This is the best book I have ever read. Maybe because I am from South Jersey and live near the Cranberry bogs where much of the story takes place. Diana whose story it is has recently lost both of her parents in a car accident. I love how the author knows that losing ones parents becomes more and more difficult as time goes on, not easier and has Diana respond appropriately. Reading about the scenery as Diana sees it in the Pine Barrens is inspiring! I highly recommend this book.

I adored this book! After being disgusted by the far-out neurotic-ness of Bridget Jones (does anyone REALLY think like that?!) I found myself identifying completely with Diana. Though I don't know the pain she's experiencing, the descriptions brought tears to my eyes. I didn't want to put this book down and I didn't want it to end. Superb.

Cranberry Queen is a quick, wonderful read. You become attached to the book within the first three chapters. Once I began, I couldn't put it down. Buy this book. You won't regret it.

Cranberry Queen is an excellent choice for a nice summer read. The unusual setting is particularly interesting, and many of the one-liners do more than just zing, they pop off the page. Pick up a copy, take it to the beach, and have a nice 250pg vacation from your own messed up life.

Such a profound and funny story of embracing life after loss. So many insights into love and friendship. Such an endearing, human protagonist. Such soaring language. I don't have the words to describe the beauty and emotion of this sensational, gorgeous novel. You have to read this. And she has to write more.
