1: What a wonderful story!!!
This is the first Deborah Smith book I've read, but it definitely won't be the last. I just finished reading it, and already I miss the characters. They were so real to me!! I recommend this book to everyone!!

2: Blue Willow
I absolutely LOVED this book! I read it over two days then turned around and re-read it. The love felt between Lily and Artemas pours out of each page, but that they are bound by family and life-circumstances, just makes their love all the more beautiful and touching. Deborah Smith has become one of my most favorite authors and this book one of my favorites. I just love the way she writes! This is a keeper-book for sure!!

3: Satisfying Read
Blue Willow was a satisfying read. The characters and scenes are rich and the plot twists kept me engaged. In the end, I felt the story had been well told by Deborah Smith. Though the love between Artemis and Lily is nearly strangled by the tragedies that come between them, love prevailed.
Money did not insulate the Colebrooks from hardship and the MacKenzie's goodness and love did not shield them from untimely deaths. Blue Willow kept me engaged and yearning to read it greedily and quickly. While I rarely reread a book. I will read this again so that I can enjoy its richness once again. While the love scenes are erotic, they are tastefully done and the passion permeates the story line. I recommend this to anyone whose enjoyed Nora Roberts or Maeve Binchy's work.

4: A simply beautiful and very moving love story! Awesome!!!!!!!
This book has to be one of the best books I've ever read!!! The bond and the enduring love of the 2 main characters...their lifetime of loving each other...simply undescribable! If you have ever loved someone since childhood....and think they are lost to you....don't give up yet!!! You must read this book!!! It moved me in ways no other books have before, and I still find myself thinking about the characters all the time. A beautiful, haunting love story!

5: Stayed up all night to finish it
I read this book in one sitting, which would've been fine if I didn't have to sleep! I've read other books by Deborah Smith, and although I liked Blue Willow, it isn't my favorite one. (So far I like 'Stone Flower Garden' and 'When Venus Fell' the most, maybe because I read them first.) There's only one reason I didn't give Blue Willow 5 stars: it was too long for me. There were great characters with lots of depth, but towards the last few chapters I felt like it was dragging and I only stayed up late to finish it because I just wanted it to finally end! All of Smith's books I've read are wonderful romantic reads, with lots of meat to them. I enjoy her books a lot, and usually don't want them to end after I've finished, but I do have to take breaks in between because they all have a common theme: star-crossed lovers who meet as children.
