Like all Jane Green's books, the Beach House is sad, funny, romantic, friendly and the kind of book you never want to put down. Full of vibrant characters and interesting relationships, this book is a real heart-warmer, and with Jane Green you can never go wrong. Pick up any of her books and you automatically get a window to a stellar group of friends and family. I've never gone wrong with any Jane Green book, as they're a great mixture of chick-lit, drama, romance, and humour. This one is targeted for a slightly older audience than some of her work, but if you loved her earlier work you'll love this too.
