I hate to admit because I am a huge Green fan, but I was disappointed after reading this book. It just wasn't as good as many of her others.

i read everything by jane green because the first book i read by her, jemima j is one of my favorites.

this was ok, but not one of her best. i really didnt get into the two main characters, vicky and amber, who swap lives for a month, until about page 250 or so.

amber has the perfect life of a lady who lunches, and vicky lives the fabulous single girl life. vicky, a writer for a magazine, decides to swap lives for a month for an article.

they are both so excited to leave their own lives, they dont realize what (or wo) they have- until they are gone.

As simple and predictable as this book was- I could NOT put it down! I was a really good book. I liked that it seemed realistic and that it was funny. I could imagine all of the characters pretty well too,

My only complaint would be the dialogue. It was bit..um, the same for everyone. Its like all the characters had a somewhat british tone, even the american ones.

But other than that I would recommend for a fun read!

I thought this book took awhile to get going. Once the swap actually happened it became more interesting, but I feel the author rushed the ending. It was built up and up and then it just ended. I wish there had a bit more at the end. It was entertaining for a lazy summer read.
