Summary: Too much to be believed
Comment: I hate to rain on the parade of stars for this book, but I honestly thought it was totally unbelievable. I had read Sullivan's Island which was funny and convincing most of the time, so I was looking forward to reading this book next. I have to say that except for in a few chapters, the story is just too ridiculous. It has too many underdeveloped characters and plot ideas. Anna, the narrator, takes ONE walk on the beach and meets the perfect man. She buys a new house and starts her own business and has parties and on and on without the least problem. It is such a fantasy, it's hard to feel convinced. The author has talent, but she needs to slow down and think through her plot a little better. I'm getting tired of so many sterotypes in southern fiction. This had potential- it was just overdone.

Summary: Big, bold, bright, and charming!
Comment: Isle of Palms features a smart and appealing heroine and a story that doesn't quit. Author Frank manages her plot and her characters with grace, authority, and good humor. Reading Isle of Palms is like spending an evening with best friends -- very entertaining and very satisfying.
Rating: 5
Summary: Sweet and Sassy
Comment: Please, please don't miss reading this book! It's hilarious, charming, and so so low country. I've read all of Dorothea Benton Frank's books, and this is the best one yet. It kept me laughing and intrigued from beginning to end. I loved Anna! What a survivor! Life may have dealt her a few lemons but she sure knew how to make lemonade. I also loved the flamboyant Jim, crazy Lucy and Brigette, the Bronx bomber who so quickly adapts to life on the Isle of Palms. The only problem with this book is that it ended too soon. Please keep them coming, Ms. Frank, you're the best!
