"This was a very sweet novel about a group of friends, which I incidentally borrowed from a friend of mine. It's her favorite novel and I can certainly see why. There is a homecoming feel to it that is intensely comforting, and I am sure I will revisit this book in the years to come"

"My favorite book of hers is Evening Class. Like Circle of Friends, it has lots of characters. Glass Lake doesn't have lots of characters but it was good too, just don't read its summary. It gives too much away."
