Second Chance by Jane Green
One of my husband’s coworkers heard of my quest for grown-up literature and passed along this novel to me. Ryan works with some really fantastic people, so I was really eager to jump in.
This story centered on a group of childhood friends that have gathered together after losing one of their number in a terrorist attack. In addition to their present tragedy, each friend has found themselves personally devastated in recent years and find a misplaced strength through each other to press on in their adulthood (hence the “Second Chance”).
I had a really good time with this book. The story was appropriately descriptive, so I found myself easily getting lost in the characters and their situations. Plus the author is English, and I have always enjoyed British humor and slang. The book took hold of me from the very beginning, and I tore through it pretty quickly.
