Reviews for Going Home

Another novel from a good storyteller. An unfortunate portrait of Mrs Blair! on the inside cover. Error painful - saying a marriage was in 1942 and he died at D-Day the next year.

A below-average chick lit novel. The heroine starts off well enough but very soon gets irritating, as does her whole family. I liked the on-off boyfriend Jaden but I had no idea what he was doing with Lizzie. It's all rather ridiculous and she ends up with the wrong man who isn't very nice at all. Not recommended.

Liked the other books I'd read of hers but didn't even start to like the main character until after the first 200 pages! All the characters were a bit confusing too. Was satisfied by the ending but feel like this one's forgettable.

Going Home is not your typical Chick Lit book. It isn't fluffy & lighthearted. It is real & intense. Lizzy's emotions jump off the page & sucks you in. Harriet Evans did a great job & has found a loyal reader with me. I look forward to reading her next book.

My husband got this for me for Christmas. Better than alot of chick lit. Standard agonies of family and romance with a happy ending.
