So much fun!
I LOVED this book. It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed out load while reading a book, but I did several times while reading this one. I’m starting Camptown Ladies, next in the series, today and really looking forward to it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just For Lesbians!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2009
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Take my word for it, as a Baptist minister's wife...this book should be rated "Not Just For Lesbians"! Anyone with a sibling will love it! The main character's memories of childhood dreams and the teasing of her brother & sister had me laughing out loud from the very first page! I was immediately hooked and had to find out what happened to this young woman! Thank you to my lesbian friends who introduced me to this one...I would hate to have missed it!

    Mari Sangiovanni wields a sharp wit that can turn on a dime and reel you in by the heartstrings. It doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, you will sympathize with these characters who just hope to find love and the freedom to share it with the world. If you've ever been embarrassed by your relatives, frustrated in love or dreamed a dream, you'll be able to relate to this story. This is one you won't want to put down because you've just got to see what surprise Ms. Sangiovanni has on the next page!

    I love the way the members of this big Italian family aren't just thrown in for comic relief. They speak with genuine voices of those who know what it means to love and be loved in spite of our faults and foibles, who pick each other up and dust each other off and keep coming back for more. If Mari Sangiovanni ever writes a sequel to this one, I'll be coming back for more, too!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous and funny
    Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2010
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Other reviewers have captured the book in their comments so I'll only say READ IT! I will guarantee you'll laugh your butt off in places; here's an example. Page 139

    "... I got a tremendous sun blister across my entire bottom lip ... I was too embarrassed to leave the house but was eventually forced to go to the pharmacy when the throbbing pain of my lip felt like a balloon filled with poison. As I approached the counter, I saw the look of horror on the young pharmacist's face as THE LIP drew nearer ... I was mortified, but attempted to speak with my rapidly pulsating lip, which was now projecting at an unusual slant, distorting my speech ... 'Do you ave any-ing for sun blis-ers? ... Iss not for me, iss for a friend.'"

    hahaha *snort* haha *gasp snort* haha

    **Remember - if you want your favorite authors to keep writing they have to be able to earn a living. If possible buy the book NEW to provide the author with royalties. If you're not going to keep it in your collection put it in the recycle bin to make another book.**

    4.0 out of 5 stars Funny with a message
    Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2008
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    It's always a nice surprise when a book turns out to be more than was expected. Most reviews of Greetings From Jamaica, Wish You Were Queer are devoted to talking about the humor and the unique characters. To discover that it also contains some pointed commentary about the difficulty of being a lesbian in America was a bonus.

    SanGiovanni makes insightful comments about being a lesbian in a straight society. At appropriate points in the story she remarks about things that most lesbians relate to. When you walk into a room just how do you identify who is "family" and who isn't? Is a smile just a friendly gesture or an invitation to something else? How do you convince your relatives that you really aren't going to change your mind even if they do fix you up with the "right" man? By watching the Santora family, the reader also gets a clear picture of how important family can be in shaping a person and Uncle Tony shows how deep and abiding love can be. None of this is delivered in a heavy, lecturing style. The lessons are delivered with humor and twine within the story quite easily. That means the reader is often learning something before she realizes it.

    Welcome To Jamaica, Wish You Were Queer would probably be as funny if it was about any ethnic family. Because Italian Americans are generally known for their bigger than life emotions, that just adds to the fun. You can almost hear the women saying in chorus, "Laugh. Learn. Enjoy." You'll do all three.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Read this when you want to laugh
    Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2012
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    There were so many things about this book that drew me in. I think the other reviewers covered it well, but since I now am a big fan I wanted to add my 5 star and comments to the others:
    -The writing flows across the page and moves this hysterical tale along
    -If you grew up with multiple generations of an Italian-American family, you are going to relate.I kept seeing my relatives in my head and remembering the family shenanigans from my childhood.
    -Sweet and silly romance is an added bonus
    -Some of the passages made me laugh out loud, always a welcome experience in my book!
    Great job and kudos to this author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Marie and Family's Excellent Adventure
    Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2009
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Ahhh, family... can't live with em, can't live without em and when someone dies all hell breaks loose. I throughly enjoyed following Marie through the post funeral drama, her stalkerish ways which lead to an unexpected romance, and the interaction of her entire extended family on a "relaxing" vacation.

    The characters are well written and your heart will be tugged by Uncle Tony who lost the love of his life but may have a chance at another. But when Marie is hurt sibling rivalry spins into fierce protectiveness. Throw in some greed, some sex, oh don't forget the paparazzi and you've got a great read.

    The best endorsement I can give though is my partner who can take a month to read a book finished Greetings from Jamaica in just a few days and said she really liked it. That's a glowing review from her.

    Go on and buy it you won't be disappointed. Really.

    I haven’t laughed so much while reading a sapphic book in a long while. This is right at the top with Robin Alexander’s hilarity. Such a wacky family. Physical comedy rendered from words alone.
    The main character and her mishaps and cluelessness make the HEA romance worthwhile.
