I understand WHY there was a lot of backstory—it was necessary for you to know who they were, etc. It was a bit slow-paced until I got to the last third of the book. That's when I wanted to see what happened next! ( ) I was very pleased with this story! It was a nice break from my usual dystopian/thriller type books. The characters were believable and the nice touch of a little time travel was a pleasant surprise. The choices made by the characters were a bit surprising and I love the way it tied up nicely at the end. I am so pleased that there are more books in this series! Diecinueve años atrás, tres amigas, Leslie, Madison y Ellie, cumplían veintiún años y compartían sus secretos del pasado y sus esperanzas respecto al futuro. Eran tres jóvenes atractivas y con mucho talento, y el mundo entero estaba a su alcance. Sin embargo, la vida no siempre se desarrolla conforme a nuestros sueños de juventud... Ahora están a punto de cumplir cuarenta años, y planean compartir esta fecha memorable en una cabaña en Maine, charlando y haciendo balance de sus vidas, sus relaciones amorosas, sus deseos y sus elecciones. Ninguna de ellas espera el regalo que las aguarda en ese lugar: la posibilidad de hacer realidad las oportunidades que dejaron escapar en el pasado. Las tres amigas deberán tomar sus propias decisiones mientras experimentan el sueño que pudo haber sido. Y las tres deberán elegir la vida que, de una forma verdadera, satisfaga los deseos que anidan en el fondo de su corazón. A captivating and emotional read about friendship, loss, love and life's what-ifs. This engaging story takes three friends, on the verge of turning 40, back to a place in time to live for three weeks. But it is not without it's risks. Things may happen that cannot be undone, for better or worse. Wonderfully written, this novel explores the age old adage "if you knew then, what you know now" with imagination and heart. The way the 3 women bond at the DMV is sort of believable but to agree to meet 20 years later was strange. The twists that each woman took in their life was entertaining. I like the idea of going back and reliving it with years experience and knowledge. Summerhouse just refers to a little house, a cottage, a studio. Madison, the model who gave it up to help rehabilitation of unfaithful husband, getting a chance to actually model, go to medical school and remeet a doctor is best story. Ellie, author whose divorcing husband takes everything, gets a better life with a rich lawyer ranch man that helps her understand court issues better. Leslie keeps her life but learns to be assertive instead of just being taken for granted. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Jude Deveraux's marvelous New York Times bestseller is a touching and delightful exploration of the longings that live deep inside every woman's heart, featuring three friends who get a once-in-a-lifetime chance to find out what might have been... Have you ever wanted to rewrite your past? Three best friends, all with the same birthday, are about to turn forty. Celebrating at a summerhouse in Maine, Leslie Headrick, Madison Appleby, and Ellie Abbott are taking stock of their lives and loves, their wishes and choices. But none of them expect the gift that awaits them at the summerhouse: the chance for each of them to turn their "what-might-have-beens" into reality... Leslie, a suburban wife and mother, follows the career of a boy who pursued her in college wonders: what if she had chosen differently? Madison dropped a modeling career to help her high school boyfriend recover from an accident, even though he'd jilted her. But what if she had said "no" when her old boyfriend had called? Ellie became a famous novelist, but a bitter divorce wiped out her earnings--and shattered her belief in herself. Why had the "justice" system failed her? And could she prevent its happening the second time around? Now, a mysterious "Madame Zoya," offers each of them a chance to relive any three weeks from the past. Will the road not taken prove a better path? Each woman will have to decide for herself as she follows the dream that got away...and each must choose the life that will truly satisfy the heart's deepest longings.
