Dull, dull, dull (0/0 people found this helpful)
Dire. This book was so boring and predictable and the writing sloppy. I used to really enjoy Ms Green's books, even though this genre isn't really my thing, but I couldn't wait to get to the end of this one. I don't think I'll be bothering with her new one unless I find it for sale really cheap in a charity shop!

I have tried two books by Jane Green, on recommendations from my friends, but both have been disappointing. No real story, insipid characters...
Fairly good (4/4 people found this helpful)
I bought this novel maily for the concept- the idea of a single british woman and and american housewife completely swapping lives sounded reather intriguing. On this front I have to say that I enjoyed this novel- it does stand out from others of its genre.
However, when actually reading the book I was dissapointed to find several mistakes throughout the text. This not only made it hard to read but also disheartened me from continuing. In this way the actual writing itself is not brilliant and yet there is some good detail and characters in there somewhere.
If you are looking for a good storyline then I would recommend you give it a go. It has some rather suprising twists and does prove rather addictive towards the end. If you can't stand grammatical or writing errors though I would leave this on the shelf and find something else more suitable.
