Suddenly

This is Barbara Delinsky at her best. Suddenly has all the qualities that have made me a fan of this author. It searches our values, faith and hope in the future. This book is totally entertaining and informative and I high recommend it to all you love a good romance mixed with enlightening characters.

After surviving a suicide in my own family, I could really relate to the characters in this novel. B. Delinsky really hit on the feelings and emotions involved for survivors of suicide. I missed the characters when I was finished with the book!

This is the first book of Delinsky's that I have read, and it won't be the last. First, I loved the fact that, besides the main story, there were two additional storylines that intertwined with the main story. The characters were well rounded. Second, when friend and co-worker Mara dies, those closest to her are forced to take a long look at their lives and what they want from them. This was one of the best books I've read in a while. I am looking forward to reading more of Delinsky's books.

This was the first book by this author that I had ever read and reread. It made me go out and look up more of her other books to read. I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!! It made me realize how special my best friends are and how important it is to talk to them about all of your feelings. I just got married and read this book before I picked my bridesmaids. I think it really meant a lot to those young woman to hear why I had picked them and how very special they were to me. This book was what made me realize it. It is a book for anyone who has ever wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. It is about "REAL" people facing real situations and the feelings that we all feel. I could not put this book down and would highly recommend this book to anyone. READ IT!!!! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!

I was rushing through the airport in Chicago and needed a good book to read. I picked this book up and was hooked on Barbara Delinsky from that day on. It is a wonderful story with many subplots and so much to say about friendships which mean so much to all of us. Sometimes our friends are dealing with problems that we do not even know they have. This story also had of course the wonderful ending. I love all of Barbara's work but you will never regret spending time reading this one, it is a real keeper. Enjoy!!
