From the New York Times bestselling author of JEMIMA J, and THE BEACH HOUSE, comes Jane Green’s most emotional and powerful novel yet: a story that explores the complications of a woman marrying into a ready-made family, and the true meaning of motherhood. Andi has spent much of her adult life looking for the perfect man, and at thirty-seven years old, she's finally found him. Ethan--divorced with two children--is a doting father and even better husband. ... more
Another Piece of My Heart is a zippy read that satisfies, as tempting as a just-opened box of Girl Scout Thin Mints. Go ahead and indulge.
Full ReviewAnother Piece of My Heart will pull readers in from the first chapter and cling to their minds long after they've finished.
Full Review... her prose is a bit on the dull and repetitive side.
Full ReviewAnother Piece of My Heart takes us on the journey of a family that was pieced together, unraveled and knitted back together. Their journey isn’t perfect but I was happy to be along for the ride!
Full ReviewGreen tells the reader what is happening, and while this moves the story along quicker, it also loses the immediacy of hearing and learning about the changes and emotions first-hand
Full ReviewJane Green's 13th novel is by no means perfect. Its rapidly shifting points of view can be disorienting and confusing.
Full ReviewBy opening up her story, Green delivers unusual suspense for a domestic novel... It’s a wonderful book.
Full ReviewThough Andi and Emily are both highly self-involved, making it difficult to like either of them, Green finds honesty in their alternating voices.
Full ReviewWhile there were quite a few cliches throughout the novel and I often find myself puzzled as to why the author decided upon a particular outcome, the message the book portrays is a valuable one.
Full ReviewI was engrossed in the story of this family and found myself reading more and more to see what would unravel next - the family seemed to be in a downward spiral.
Full ReviewThis is a book I read in one sitting because I had to know what happened; fans of Greens won’t be disappointed.
Full ReviewAnd bouncing around to other narrative voices in these sort of awkward monologues didn’t work for me.
Full ReviewAnother Piece of My Heart is incredibly engaging, particularly as Green begins to show the tension between Andi and Emily from both women’s perspectives.
Full ReviewIn other places, Green tells the reader what is happening, and while this moves the story along quicker, it also loses the immediacy of hearing and learning about the changes and emotions first-hand, so to speak.
Full ReviewThe plot could easily have been a tired cliche, but it wasn’t. There were many surprises hidden along the way, the biggest being Emily’s pregnancy.
Full ReviewThere was a fair bit of whining from both the women but I guess I would probably do the same thing if my life were as complicated (not in a good way) as theirs.
Full ReviewOverall, a wonderful book about what it takes to keep your family together and the lengths that some people will go to ensure that does or doesn't happen.
Full ReviewIt was sometimes painful to pick up where I had left off because I was fearing that more pieces of my heart would be shred and they were over and over again.
Full ReviewAnother Piece of my Heart isn’t my first read of Jane Green, and I can say that this is by far my favorite books of hers.
