second chance by jane green

genre: chick lit

recap: {from amazon} Tom Fitzgerald, a Brit living in the States, is only 39 when he kisses his wife and children good-bye and boards a doomed train. In the wake of his death, his friends, some of whom haven't seen in each other in nearly two decades, come together to remember him. Despite one night of passion, Holly and Tom remained best friends, and she thinks she is content with her picture-perfect life despite a lack of love for her husband until she reconnects with Tom's charismatic, introspective younger brother. Olivia takes a chance on a man Tom set her up with shortly before he died. An actress in L.A., Saffron has fallen in love with one of Hollywood's sexiest stars, but she is growing tired of waiting for him to leave his loveless marriage. Paul and Anna couldn't love each other more, but her inability to conceive a child mars their happy marriage.

review: love this book. love all by jane green. the way she writes about the emotion after a terrorist attack makes me wonder if she did actually know people who died in 9/11. this was my second time reading it (since i've run out of new books), but luckily i waited long enough that i didn't remember all the details.
