I have recently read a few of your books that are being passed around my circle of friends. I very much enjoyed them and look forward to reading the remainder of your novels. The only comment I would like to make is that I find it a bit distracting when, engrossed in a scene, there is a grammatical phrase that is distinctly British (understandable with your upbringing.) It throws me off because the characters are American. i.e. Your character would be going to a baseball "game", not a "match." I don't mean this as a criticism because I really like your characters, themes, etc. So much so, I guess, that I don't want anything to take me out of the moment. I am looking forward to diving into the rest.....

As far as I know, we have never met. Nor, do I think, are you acquainted with my husband. So imagine my surprise when I realized that you had captured us so perfectly in the middle of "Dune Road." As Kit's feelings about her dwindled sex life with Adam are expressed, I felt like it could have been a page ripped from my own journal. Children, sleep and life in general have been a much higher priority for me in the past few years. And then Adam, desperately wanting to have sex with his wife but feeling unimportant in that regard is precisely how my husband feels these days. These characters (fictional or not) not only validated that others are going through the same circumstances, but brought me a much needed wake-up call. I am going to pay more attention to my sweet husband and nurture an important part of our relationship. We will not end up drifting as far apart as Kit and Adam and I thank you for putting it on paper for me.

Hi Jane. Just finished reading "Beach House" while I was on vacation with my husband in Ocean City, NJ. What a perfect read. I loved the characters and the way their lives were so connected. I will now pass the book onto my daughter and daughter-in-law and plan to read your other books soon. Thank you.

I just finished reading Second Chance and loved it! Have you ever written a sequel to one of your novels?

Hi Jane,
I've just finished reading The Beach House and I just had to write and say how much I loved it. I have read every single one of your books and am always looking out on the shelves for the next one. I live in London, am 37, separated, your books have always been a source of inspiration to me.
Thank you! Keep writing.

Hi Jane. I just finished my first Jane Green book The Other Woman. Wow how I can relate!! I am a 39 y/o mother with 2 small children and a challenging mother-in-law (to put it nicely). I absolutely loved this book! I cried in the end when Dan and Ellie got back together and she mentioned Millie for the first time (this was my girl name for my second child but he came out with a penis). Sometimes I would laugh out loud reading because Ellie's thoughts have certainly run through my head since having my first child. Anyway, I can't wait to go out and get another of your books. Thanks for giving me such a great book to read on the beach. Now I think I'll go try to work on being nicer to my husband!:)

I found your books when my friend went to London and brought them home for me to read. I then traveled to London and bought every single one that were in the stores that I hadn't read! I absolutely love your writing, your stories and the characters in all the books! I get sad after I read a book of yours because I realize I have to wait a while before there is another one out! You are my favorite writer and I look forward to every book your release! Thank you for letting me escape my life and be engrossed in your novels!

Hi Jane,
I have recently "discovered" your brilliant books and have proceeded to read 4 of them in 3 days...I think my favorite so far is Jemima J. Having recently lost a lot of weight I know exactly how it is to be a fat girl in a skinny body. The book was fantastic. I have just finished "spellbound", which I loved and now on to Mr. Maybe...I find myself able to relate to several aspects of your stories and characters. I am so glad to have found your books' although not so much for my husband and children as they and the house have been terribly neglected.
Look forward to reading the lot, and thank you so very much.
