a little on the long side [well it IS supposed to encompass 20 years..:] - but if you can get through it... you'll enjoy it. it's a little deeper than your typical 'beach read' and definitely not a super thick, heavy drama. it's got everything [i:] could want in a book - politics, drama, taboo romance, and bitchy girls.

Wow, this book was a reminder of the joy I am able to find in reading! Lokko has written a masterpiece that chronicles the lives of four best friends over two decades. All four girls take wildly different routes after they part from high school and I enjoyed seeing them grow and develop as characters. This kept me captivated right until the last page!

I still havent found a single book of Lesley Lokko that i didn't enjoy. This one was a fresh reading, a chick-lit book that i've loved with all my heart. She's the only author of this type of novels who's able to make me feel something while reading them. My favorite one is one secret summer but i'd recommend sundowners to anyone of my friends!

Entertaining. I loved watching these characters grow up and evolve. The author did an excellent job of portraying the way friendships wax and wane while simultaneously remaining deeply engrained in your life.
