By Invitation Only A Novel Dorothea Benton Frank 9781538519486 Books Reviews

I was introduced to Dorothea Benton Frank some years ago, when a friend mentioned her and thought I might enjoy reading her books. So, over the years, I have enjoyed her, but, with By Invitation Only, I found a book I couldn't put down, and my sister, who's not been as much of a fan, called me when about 3/4ths of the way through her copy to say she was loving the book and, like me, couldn't put it down. The storyline...a wedding and one of the mothers not being fully onboard...or being onboard but insisting her daughter have the wedding to end all weddings...the story then moving back and forth between the Carolina Low Country and Chicago, where the wedding will take place...and the characters...so nicely developed, reflecting so well their circumstances and those areas where they make their homes. I think it's the pace of the book and the author's bringing her readers into all that's going so vividly that makes for this wonderful reading experience. If this book is an introduction to Frank's work, don't hesitate to check out the titles of so many others she's written. She's obviously very much in love with the Low Country, but as someone born in Chicago, living in the suburbs all my life, she also brings that area of the country very much alive. Here's wishing the author much success with this effort. I look forward to next year's release.
I'm not sure why I always feel a .5 will make a difference, but it does to me. Another reviewer had noted that some of DBF's books had felt a bit repetitive lately, and this is somewhat true...but this one stands out. The characters were so heartwarming. A few I couldn't stand, but that's a good writer...to get you feeling something about the characters. The setting in the south was perfect, and I also loved the matriarch. This book was about family, about how we sometimes think the wrong things are important, and loss. Read this...you'll LOVE it.
I was a little disappointed in this book. It was just ok. I knew what was going to happen after reading a few chapters as it was typical of Ms. Frank's last few books. This will not stop me from reading the next one she writes.
Five stars is not enough to give this latest book by Dorothea Benton Frank. When I let the housework slide because I am totally engrossed in a book, it's a winner in my world and this is what happened when I purchased this book! The plot was fun, the characters were likeable (some more than others, but don't want to spoil the story). Thank you Dottie for this wonderful book....it was well worth the wait!!!!
I'd stopped reading DBF books for a couple of years. Though I love the Low Country of SC more than anything some of her books seemed redundant. This one was different. More interesting plot, less endless details about 'pluff mud' etc. I'd highly recommend this book.
From the first book I read, Pawley's Island, I have never missed a book! I even went back and looked for earlier books and binge read them until I ran out of reading material and had to wait like the rest of the world for books to come out when they were released. I have always loved the feel and smell of a brand new hardback book. I love them from the moment that I write my name and the date I bought the book (and where I bought the book since I always fun out of reading material when on vacation. So keeping up with where I bought the book helped remind me of that years vacation memories). However, since I have my own private club of Southern Authors that I follow and love their books too, the day came where I literally was forced to resort to ebooks. Something I resisted as long as possible but it came down to my books and or a safe place to walk in my home or a closet to hang up my clothes...so I bought my first ebook and though I miss my "new book moment" and the actual act of turning a page, it has its perks too.

I loved this book. There are some books I love more than others but this was one of those books that once I was engaged in the beautifully flowing narrative, putting it down became a hardship and yet I was sad when I read the last page. I was not ready for this visit into the Lowcountry to be over. So, I'm now seeking out my favorite moments in the book and rereading those chapters. This is my way of dealing with "End of the Book Blues"!
Waiting for a new book by Ms Frank is like waiting for Christmas! One wants it to hurry up and get here but then one wants it to last as long as possible. Her stories never disappoint with great characters and plot lines. This current read was a doozy and I found myself so reluctant for it to end.
