But I Love You Anyway

Summary: Light, humorous read
Review: I agree with the other reviewers on this page who say that the book's easy writing style does not tax the reader's intelligence. Also, it was no mystery who the thief was. You could see that coming fifty pages away. Still, the book is a real joy to read. In book reviews, I've often come across the phrase "full of hidden little truths" and had little idea what that actually means. Well, this book is an example. The story is so familiar and touching, it was like my best friend had written it. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Ordinary but enjoyable
Review: I found Lewis's book very ordinary in terms of its theme but still enjoyable. I liked her writing because it was simple and easy to understand. Her narrative is not one of those that require the reader to exert themselves to understand everything fully. It's a story of two sisters, a mother and her two children, her relationship with a mysterious guy, and her relationship with her ex-husband. It's funny at times and a good read.

Summary: If you like Anne Lamott's non-fiction read on
Review: I loved this book. But, I've loved ALL Sara Lewis' books. She writes with heart and kindness and wit. Her characters are true and funny and real. Sure, they are experiencing a lot of the same kinds of problems you and I are, but reading about their lives sheds light on my own. Oh, and also I'm entertained!

It is a wonderful thing to be able to read a book about people who want to "get it right". People who aren't out to maim and mutilate each other. People who might have had a few bumps in the road of life but manage to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and fall in love again, both with a new mate, as well as with the experience of being alive.

Summary: Funny, Light Read! Good Beach Book!
Review: I only give 5 stars to classics or things that change my life forever. So, four stars is pretty darned good. I found it very entertaining and enjoyable. I even stayed up until midnight to read the entire book, I HAD to know how it ended. I thought the twist of going on someone elses date was very funny and so wacky, it was endearing! Also, Henry was a character that I felt I knew in college! Pick this up, it's fun!

Summary: Entertainment . . . that's why I read!!
Review: I read to take a break, unwind, and relax. The title made me pick this book up. Having never read anything by Sara Lewis I had no expectations. Yes, it was an easy read. Easy because it was entertaining, fun and I fell very quickly into the lives of the characters. I, like Mimi, love music. Having this in common immediately bonded me to the story teller. I love how Sara Lewis told this story. It made me feel as if I were reading a letter and catching up with a dear friend I hadn't spoken with for a while. I am a loyal, faithful reader of authors who touch my heart with their talent . . . and gift. Thanks to Amazon I have the titles of Sara's other books. I look forward to reading them all. I will be adding Ms. Lewis to my list of authors I wait anxiously for news of a new release. Enjoy . . . I sure did!!

Summary: The perfect weekend read - likable characters with a twist!<
Review: Luckily my family didn't need me for much once I picked up this fun book. Sara Lewis delightfully describes her characters so that you are involved with them immediately. I could have sworn she was writing about my brother-in-law--we were suspicious of him from the beginning, too!! It's great to read about real-life sister relationships . Our bookclub discussion of the book was very animated - we all wanted to share family stories. I laughed, I cried, and was totally surprised. You won't regret one minute of reading this one.

Summary: Waste of time
Review: This book was a day in the life of an average nobody with average problems, average kids, average ex-husband, and all of that trivial stuff that doesn't warrant being written about. My life is more interesting, and that's not saying much.

Summary: Lackluster
Review: This book was very easy to read and moved along quickly but it was by no means "good." The plot was sometimes boring and sometimes just silly and the writing was banal. Although it was a fast read, there are hundreds of other books out there that are a fast read and capitivating. Reading this book was a waste of my time.
