what more can you ask from a friend, than some "Straight Talking"? (0/0 people found this helpful)
I have loved this book since I read it on New Years Eve the year it was originally published! I had just had my heart broken. I did not want to see anyone. I picked up a chinese take-away and a bottle of prosecco on my way home and bought myself a book "Straight Talking". Jane Green was all the company I needed. I ate my take-away one-handed. I drank my bottle of bubbles. I read and read and finally went to bed at 3am after reading the whole book cover-to-cover. I love Jane Green and her writing and have read everything she has written since. I am surprised to read some negative feedback about this book. It is pure class. Earthy, sexy, honest and real. Love it!
boring (1/1 people found this helpful)
I like Jane Green books in general and yet i found this one showed how she has improved writing since she wrote this years ago.
I found it more tacky and not stand out in anyway. If anyone read this first i think more people would be inclined to not bother again. There just didn't feel the talent of the writing.
I recommend Second Chance, The other Woman, Life Swap and Jemima J, wholeheartedly, even if Jemima J is written in a bit of a simplistic way- that is a little Jane's style. I found the beach house not quite so good as some others as well.
Too much information for me (1/1 people found this helpful)
If lurid detail of the sex life of a sex mad, narcissic central character is your sort of thing, read this book. If not, do what I did and ditch it half way through.
Bored me to tears, the descriptions of Tasha, the central character's exploits and fantasies had way too much information, and apart from this there seemed to be little, if any, storyline. Tasha only had one thing on her mind, what a boring person.
Won't be reading any more of this Author's books.
very easy to read and very believable (0/0 people found this helpful)
This was my first Jane Green novel and from then on I was a fan.
Awesome
Really rotten (1/1 people found this helpful)
In a nutshell the book is about a self absorbed tramp. I can't believe that her cat would bother to stay with her much less any man with half a brain.
