Customer Reviews

A great book by Olivia Goldsmith

I don't know why this got so little ratings. It was a great book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Very funny with a good storyline. I couldn't put the book down waiting for what would happen next. Lots of suprises and I give it 5 stars!!!!!!

Thought It Was Fun and Lighthearted!

This is a fun and easy read. While I agree that I could have heard less about Kate's internal battles, they were easy to get through. I found the book fun and upbeat. I enjoyed spending time someplace else. The ending was happy...and why can't we all have a little more happiness?

Wondeful!

I loved reading this! It is a creative and slightly different twist on all those other books in its genre. It was romantic, funny (actually laughed out loud) and a great read. The main character is wonderfully easy to relate to and it is a joy to see new york city and life from her point of view. By the end, even if you might have been a little critical of the realistic nature of the plot, you are completely won over by the characters and the twists and turns in the storyline! Loved it! For anyone who isnt into settling on anything less than love and lust-

"Regaining Brooklyn"

I disagree with Publishers Weekly rather nasty review. I found the book absolutely delightful and I have a Jewish, Brooklyn background and plenty of Gay friends. It's a novel,not a polemic on Gays, NY or Jews. It was very funny, touching and romantic, and I don't see how anyone could find it offensive. If you want a light, charming, funny getaway this is the book for you. I'm primarily a mystery reader, this was a sweet break

Like but not love....

I can't say I LOVED this book, but it wasn't as bad as some reviewers claimed it to be. All of the Brooklyn girls worked on my nerves a bit, but i did enjoy Kate and Billy and Elliot and Brice.
