Customer Reviews

Always a book to read over and over!

I have always enjoyed reading "Mel" by Liz Berry and luckily I own a copy. Though this is my second favorite book by her ("Easy Connections" is the first) I find that if it is read once, it must certainly be read a few more times. I only wish Liz Berry will republish "Easy Freedom" (that is the only one I do not own) and write a few more books!

Wonderful! I couldn't put it down!

Seventeen-year-old Mel decides to redecorate and remodel her filthy and rundown house after her mother goes to a mental hospital due to a mental breakdown. While searching for furniture at a junk shop, she meets Mitch Hamilton, who turns out to be a famous rock star! This book is great!

How a 17-yr old deals with insanity,a shabby house & romance.

This book is simply super! I have read it about 20 times and would definitely be reading it alot more...the way Mel rallies against what fate has dealt her and her strength is awe-inspiring!!! One of the best books ever writtten!!!

A "must read" for all young romantics.

This is the best romance book I've ever read! If you can find a copy, you must get it! Mel's character comes off as so real a person. Her feelings and... just everything she does. Please find a copy and read it. You won't regret it.

Cool Book!!!!!!!

This book is really great!! The style of writing makes you feel like you're really there. The characters are so realistic, you seem to know all about them. If you have the chance, please read this book!!!!!!!
