- Beach House
- I loved this book. The author has found her voice and is able to create romance and mystery in the same book. It was a great fun summer read or winter. Loaded on Kindle nice; however there were gaps between the words.

- Take me away!
- This was the first time I have read one of Jane Green's books. I couldn't put it down. I was astonished at how some of the characters' life experiences and emotions parelleled mine. Somewhat predictable, but who doesn't like a happy ending. I look forward to getting a chance to read some of Jane's other books.

- The Beach House by Jane Green
- I found The Beach House to be mediocre at best. The plot was far-fetched and ridiculous. I read this book on a cruise and it was the only book I packed so was forced to finish reading it for lack of anything else. This was the first book I read by Jane Green and most probably will be the last.

- Chick lit, beach read trash
- Of course, if you're into chick lit, "beach read" crap like this, this book's for you. This makes the Nancy Drew and Boxcar Children series' I read in second and third grade sound like Kafka.
I haven't read anything this shallow and boring in a very long time. The characters have fewer dimensions than paper dolls and the plot is stolen from a variety of bad after-school or Lifetime specials. Spare yourself. - 2008-09-07, 1 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- The Beach House...A perfect retreat
- I've read many of Green's more whimsical and easy flowing novels, yet this read was a pleasant surprise as it tackled some of life's more serious situations. This novel introduces you to several extremely different characters, all changing and evolving, and how their current situations bring them together and learn to help one another at a serene location that refreshes all of their souls. Smiles and tears were had throughout the entire story, and a warmth in my soul and an optimistic outlook on life and knowing that no matter what, there is a reason....was had as I closed the back cover. A sweet and tender ride.
