I personally love the book! You really need to read the Christy Miller series first. THEN Secrets, Whispers, Echoes, Sunsets and so on. They are my personal favorites and being 14 I don't get to read them that often! :) I hope you enjoy it!

Shelly and Meredith, sisters from a close, loving family, are both experiencing career changes and decide to move in together. Unsatisfied in her career as an airline stewardess, Shelly begins considering other opportunities around her. Also unsastified that she is rapidly approaching thirty and still unmarried, Shelly cannot forget the boy whose heart she broke many years earlier. Needing to take some time off, Shelly accompanies her sister on a fateful trip to Germany, where she encounters Jonathon, whose proposal she had turned down years before. Instead of rekindling an old romance, like she had hoped, he introduces her to his fiance'. It takes Meredith and the Lord to make Shelly realize that her life can go on and that she can become fulfilled in her career and as a Christian. Clouds is a wonderful Christian romance with a great surprise ending!

Clouds is a fantastic book! Such a sweet story, and one of the best books I've read in a long time. This book is part of a series. I only read Secrets first (which is not quite as good as this one) and was not lost in the story. I would have rather read them all in order, but I will definitely read the rest of the series ASAP!

To really understand this series you need to read the Christy Miller Series. Then you'll already know some of the characters because all of Robin's books are connected. I actually haven't finished this yet, but I'm almost done. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Clouds is an, inspirational, realistic, modern,& extraordinary book. I read an uncommon amount and very seldom do I find something that I can read over and over again and never get tired of. But this is it, I believe strongly that God does pick that perfect person out for us and this book demonstrated that perfectly. Excellent Job Ms. Gunn!!!

Maybe it's because i didn't have a high school sweetheart and i couldn't relate to the storyline but I really didn't enjoy this book as i have the other ones. It wasn't a bad read but the characters also didn't seem to have as strong a build-up as the other stories i have read by her. Especially Jonathan --- his character seemed kind of weak and didn't peak my interest. I know that all the other reviews are strong and I respect them but I have to be honest here on this particular one. But I love Robin's work and think she is an awesome writer. I can't wait for her to do a new book since the only one i haven't read yet is waterfalls...

The reality past stories of Shelly growing up with Jonathan are memorable with no doubt. Her love for him never died and she found him once again but he was no longer her's. I reccomend you read this book for you will soar in to the clouds and never come out until the last paragraph.

clouds glen brook series #5 by robin jones gunn
love explanation of why the book was called this, good idea
flight attendant shelly comes home and wants to see her old boyfriend.
memories of things that happened as children, birthdays, happy tears, sad tears.
she transfers to a location and travels to Germany where he is doing
charity work. she hides her feelings as he's about to get married.

Her faith in God helps her get through the tough choices.

Love her ideas on decorating and using things that were useless. She seems
to have found her calling in life as things progress.

Clouds is (so far) my favorite book in the Glenbrooke series by Robin Jones Gunn. The story is all about first loves from childhood and growing up. Eventually they part ways and trust God to find their way back together again... even if it means just forgiving the past. Love it. Great read.

Want a book that holds your interest? I recommend this entire series. I discovered Gunn on accident; really it was a blessing! I liked this entire series. Good wholesome values and interesting plots that intertwine with the other books.
