Interpretation Toward Books Crossing Oceans

Jenny Lucas swore she'd never go home again. But being told you're dying has a way of changing things. Years after she left, she and her five-year-old daughter, Isabella, must return to her sleepy North Carolina town to face the ghosts she left behind. They welcome her in the form of her oxygen tank-toting grandmother, her stoic and distant father, and David, Isabella's dad . . . Who doesn't yet know he has a daughter. As Jenny navigates the rough and unknown waters of her new reality, the unforgettable story that unfolds is a testament to the power of love and its ability to change everything--to heal old hurts, bring new beginnings . . . Even overcome the impossible. A stunning debut about love and loss from a talented new voice.

Judgment Out Of Books Crossing Oceans

Hard to believeThe characters, especially Jenny, the main character was so juvenile in behavior; anger, short fuse, jealousy, selfish,etc. I finished the book hoping they would grow up, and finally stop reacting, and they did a little. The little girl was the most realistic, and like able.

Sad story about a dying Mother and the choices she has to make for her daughter. I think the story has a lot of potential but I felt the characters could have been given more depth. You do feel bad for the main character and the book makes you think about the choices you would make if you knew you only had a little time left.

I wanted to like this book but found myself totally annoyed. I had very little sympathy for Jenny, even given her tough situation. I was really sympathetic at first, but her behavior, anger, jealousy, very poor treatment of others (except her daughter) was unbecoming and selfish. I scratched my head wondering why her high school friend was so in love with her. How can you so deeply love someone who you never knew in high school and now who you haven't seen in how many years? Pure fantasy. I was

Okay, I've recently decided to save five stars for books I intend to reread, but I'm going to make an exception with this one. The only reason I probably won't reread it anytime soon is that it affected me so deeply. It's like Steel Magnolias if you pulled out Shirley Maclain. It's raw, it's real. It's hard to "go there" as a wife and a mom--even harder when you have to see such pain through the lens of unrealized dreams. You'll have to read it to find out what I mean. And I do recommend that



This book was just ok for me. I think Gina is a terrific writer, but some of it was a bit over the top. Sorry to include spoiler's, but I just couldn't make my point without them. I thought the writing was witty and heartfelt, but when you have a character who says to someone that is dying of cancer, "The cancer must've gone to your brain" that was a bit much for me. Also, here you have a dying woman who is on crutches from an injury, and she has to get up in the middle of the night (with her

I might be stepping out on a limb here, but Im going to give Crossing Oceans 5 Stars.This was a different type of book from the genre Ive been reading regularly, but no one can say Im not willing to step out into a different genre. Sometimes Ive found that the books Ive like the most are the ones I have the least to say about in my blogs (thats not always the case). Sometimes I just feel like the reader needs to experience the book for themselves. Just take my word for it. This is one of those
