About this product

Product Information

British sensation Jane Green delivers a sparkling tale of old friends reunited and old jealousies rekindled. Catherine Warner and Simon Nelson are best friends: total opposites, always together, and both unlucky in love. Cath is scatterbrained, messy, and--since she had her heart broken a few years back--emotionally closed off. Si is impossibly tidy, bitchy, and desperate for a man of his own. They live in London's West Hampstead along with their lifelong friends, Josh and Lucy, who are happily married with a devil-spawn child and a terrifying Swedish nanny, Ingrid. All's well (sort of) until the sudden arrival of a college friend--the stunningly beautiful Portia, who is known for breaking hearts. Though they've grown up and grown apart from Portia, the four friends welcome her back into the fold. But does Portia have a hidden agenda or is she merely looking to reconnect with old friends? Her reappearance soon unleashes a rollicking series of events that tests the foursome's friendships to the limit and leaves them wondering if a happy ending is in store. Fortunately, Cath has plenty to take her mind off Portia's schemes--like her gutsy decision to leave her job in advertising to fulfill her dream of opening a bookstore. And then there's James, the sexy real-estate agent who keeps dropping by even after the bookstore deal is done. With his irresistible smile and boyish charm could he be the one to melt Cath's heart? Told with Jane Green's captivating wit and flare, Bookends is above all a story about friendship--its twists, turns and complications--and how it weathers the challenges of love, ambition, marriage, and, most of all, growing up. Warmhearted, sophisticated, and full of delicious surprises, Bookends is Green's most dazzling novel yet.

  • Another good chick lit read by Green

    "Bookends" is pretty typical Jane Green. Cath is our 31-year-old single, neurotic narrator who takes us through her fledging business enterprise and ensuing romance. At times though, you want to take Cath and shake her. Cath had formed a close-knit group of friends at university: Josh, Eddie, Si, and the elusive, magical Portia. In the present, Eddie has slipped out of the group, but Cath is still close with Josh, his wife Lucy, and Si. Portia did a bad, bad thing in university and she grew apart, yet comes back into their lives--sort of. I never knew what to think of her. One thing in this book: everyone is "gorgeous." Josh, Si, Si's boyfriends, Portia, Ingrid the Swedish nanny, James the love interest, Elizabeth the almost-girlfriend of Josh who was the cause of the fallout with ...

  • Another great book by Jane Green!

    I loved this book! It's about a girl who is in her thirties and still not seemingly doing anything with her life. She has a good job, stays home, and has had the same circle of friends since college. She contemplates following her dreams and finding what she wants in life. Her close circle of friends are disrupted by an old friend from college. See how everything unravels and finds its way back to normalcy. Its another great book with a happy ending from Jane Green!

  • Easy to relate

    This book had characters that you could easily be you or people you know. You felt like one of the gang. It has times where it keeps you guessing. You get very tempted to skip to the end and read it, but don't it is worth it to read it honestly.

  • great book- Bookends Jane Green

    This is a very exciting book to read once I had statred the book I found it difficult to put down. The book had you guessing the plot at a few points through the book but was still very intreging and made you more determined to finish reading the book sooner.
