Advantages: brilliantly written characters

Disadvantages: not as funny as others

I really enjoy reading Jane Green books. I find that they are written in a very good way with a pace which isn't too fast so that it's very believable a read and enjoyable.

Bookends is the latest book that I have read and it hasn't disappointed.

The story tells of two friends who set up their own book shop together. One has always dreamt of having a cafe, the other of a book shop so they combine the two. It sounds like a dream job for both of them but there is more to it than that.

The story tells about their lives. The main character is Cath and she is written really well in a witty, light hearted way. I felt as though I really got to know her and enjoyed hearing about her views on things. The other characters are very well formed too, you can't help but love them and really understand how they all relate to each other.

I found this book very enjoyable. I liked that I got a very good sense of the characters so that every twist and turn was just as interesting as the next. It was not written in a fast action packed way which is what I like as I found this book very honest and as easy to read.

I do not think it is as funny as some of Green's other books but it still had wit throughout it which was enjoyable to read and made it light hearted.

It is quite a chick lit book really, there isn't anything too difficult or deep about this but it is fine by me as I like to lose myself in a book which isn't full of stresses and woes.

I definitely recommend this book, it's light, full of well written characters and very enjoyable to unwind with.

Summary: 5 stars
