I loved Juliet from the start ... loved her wit and honesty and her friendship with Sidney and Sophie. I loved Dawsey (anyone else see him as sort of Tommy Lee Jones-ish?) and of course loved Elizabeth and Kit. I particularly loved Elizabeth's final note in which she wrote, "P.S. Doesn't she have the most beautiful feet?" What a lovely, lovely book. Just finished it — loved it.

Grown-up version? I've just finished this book and the warmth and pleasure I feel is a gift. I enjoyed every minute of reading it while on vacation. There should always be time to read something for pure pleasure. I hope she is able to do something silly today. Oh, poor janey greene. Grown-up version?

The concept was good but the packaging was insulting. Don't you all think we could have coped with the grown-up version? Too cute, too twee, too precious and whimsical.
