Book Description:
Jane Green's bestselling novels are rich with wry, clever insights into the romantic lives of her idiosyncratic heroines, winning them a devoted fan base. Now, with The Other Woman, Viking will reintroduce America to the inimitable Jane Green.
If opposites attract, Ellie and Dan are perfect for each other. She's impulsive; he follows all the rules. Ellie is a virtual orphan, whereas Dan's family is as close-knit as they come. At first, Ellie is thrilled to be accepted into the Cooper clan and embraces Dan's mom, Linda, as the mother she never had—until she begins to realize that Linda's "mothering" is far more intrusive than even the best daughter-in-law can handle. What can Dan and his mother possibly have to talk about on the phone twice a day? And how has the intimate civil ceremony Ellie always dreamed of turned into a black-tie affair that would rival a royal wedding? Suddenly, Ellie finds herself wondering if it's possible to get an annulment—from Linda.
A hilarious yet touching look at mothers-in-law and what they teach us about ourselves, The Other Woman is a brilliant hit from a novelist whose star just continues to rise.

If you like Jane Green's style, you will like this. You will also be infuriated at the workings of the main character's in-laws and their family! Entertaining read.

A fun easy read about the complex relationship with in-laws. I have always enjoyed Jane Green's books and anxiously await the next one.

...okay. To all those Jane Green fans out there. I promise that I'll give her another shot. This book was good but it wasn't great. I had a hard time getting through it actually. I know a lot of Jane Green fans that would smack me right now but maybe I just picked the wrong book. I'm going to try another one and get back to ya!

A fast chick lit read. Satisfying ending for a story with 2 difficult to like characters.

Reagan H. (It was very entertaining and a quick read. Deals well with an issue all married women experience.
This was my first Jane Green novel. I couldn't get through it! It was too slow and boring for me. Possibly because her mother in law is not nearly as bad as mine. I actually put it down 3/4 of the way through and have no desire to find out what happens. I guess I'm not a Jane Green kinda girl
I loved this book! It is a must read for anyone who has had issues with the Mother-in-law!
I loved this book. Its something for both mother in laws, and daughter in laws to enjoy. I'm engaged, so it hit a little close to home, but it was very well written and a very good read.
