Editorial Review:
The New York Times bestselling author delivers another winning novelthis time its a tale of friendship and fate Jane Green has become a nationally bestselling author with legions of fans through her novels about the true-life dilemmas of real womentheir relationships, their careers, their loves, their triumphs and disappointments.

- Boring and reads like other novels of late....
"Second Chance" focuses on the lives of former school friends who are brought back together after one of their old friends, Tom dies in a terrorist attack (yep you read that right a terrorist attack). As usual (or in her most recent novels) Jane Green has way too many characters going through turmoil constantly that does not allow the reader to really engage with any of them.

- Wish I hadn't purchased this book
I've read "Babyville" by Jane Green and it was ok, not amazing to the point where I would refer the book to friends and colleagues, but just "ok" ... nothing to rave about; so I thought purchasing "Second Chances" would change my mind and give author Jane Green another (second) chance for me to get into her way of writing, but alas, no chance.

- Second Chance
It has a lot of talk around the topics of men, marriage, sex, make-up, clothes, best friends, affairs, gossip, and kids. I did not know what I was getting myself into because this is the first book I have read by Jane Green. I am disappointed.

- Simply Amazing
This book is amazing. I have never heard of Jane Green prior to reading this book and I am in love with her literature. This book helps you realize how friendship is an amazing blessing in anyones life.

- Smells like the Big Chill
I was so disappointed with "Second Chances". I have loved many of Jane Green's books, escaping to the funny world of her protagonists and transporting myself back to England. The character's were flat and the circumstances in the book seemed a photocopy of the Big Chill. Within the first chapter, I could not wait to get the book over with as this scenario has been done many times and I kept expecting a new twist. Hope better for the next one.
