5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the reviews would lead you to think, January 5, 2000

By

ketvalgal (spring valley, ca United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Honey Moon (Mass Market Paperback)

One of Susan Elizabeth Phillips best. More in the vein of DREAM A LITTLE DREAM than, say, FANCY PANTS. Its not as full of good ole boy humor as some of her others but rather is full of deep emotions and characters. The emotional growth of the characters over time is very moving. I like all of her books but this one and DREAM A LITTLE DREAM are the ones I read over. If you are looking for the simple - guy meets girl, a few problems, jump into bed, live happily ever after with their one true love, kind of book - look again. Life, love and literature are more interesting than that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful emotion and a heroine I will never forget!, August 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Honey Moon (Mass Market Paperback)

I adore SEP's books. She writes emotion, both laughter and tears like few others in the business. Honey is a character who is perfectly amazing in this girl-woman coming of age book. I cried at her pain and laughed at her spunkiness. It is not only a strong love story, but it is women's fiction at its best. This book is a favorite of mine BECAUSE it is real and the heroine's pain is real and her happiness and spirit exceptional. If you want more than just fun...if you want maturity in your reading, do NOT miss this book. It is a treasure!

4.0 out of 5 stars A change of pace for Susan Elizabeth Phillips, August 18, 2001

This review is from: Honey Moon (Mass Market Paperback)

Even though this is not your typical romance, most readers will really enjoy it. It is the story of Honey Moon, a young girl from a rough background who rather accidentally finds herself the star of a TV show. The romance in the book is generally pretty good, but the more interesting part of the book is Honey's growth from a tough, unloved girl, to an emotionally dependent wife, to an independent and fully mature woman. As usual, Susan Elizabeth Phillips is adept at adding touches of humor and creating interesting, multi-dimensional characters. It's a good read. Nevertheless, if you're reading it just for the romance, you will find it only marginally satisfying.
