Book Description

Publication Date: 22 Jun 2006

My name is Natasha

I have a successful career

A gorgeous penthouse flat

Trouble is, I'm in love with a man who already has a girlfriend

My name is Sophie

I have a man I love

He's gorgeous and we've been together four years

Trouble is, he won't propose

Natasha and Sophie met when they were eleven and rapidly became best friends. Natasha was always the more intelligent and Sophie the more beautiful, but it never came between them ... until now. Suddenly the tiny, niggling, inescapable fact of their envy for each other's life is trying to surface and a number of casualties are getting caught in the crossfire. Is a fading love worth clinging to at all costs? Is marriage the be-all-and-end-all? And can an affair ever be fulfilling?

Natasha and Sophie need to learn that they might be hunting for happiness in all the wrong places ...

5.0 out of 5 stars great read 17 July 2006
By a reader
Format:Paperback
This is a great read, funny, fast-moving and thought provoking. It's the story of two best friends, Natasha and Sophie. Natasha is traditionally the "clever one", Sophie the "pretty one". Now in their thirties, neither is entirely happy with her life. Natasha has a great job, an amazing flat and a designer wardrobe but she's lonely and Sophie has a gorgeous boyfriend but a dead-end job and lives in a rented hovel. It really struck chords with me, I've always been jealous of my friends' lives, but of course you can't admit to such nasty feelings! But as this book shows the grass isn't always greener. It has loads of really funny scenes and the characters are so well-drawn you feel as if you know them. Well done, Julia and thanks for the laughs!

This is the first Julia Llewellyn that I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. More thought-provoking and meatier/realistic than I expected it to be too.

5.0 out of 5 stars really loved it 26 Jun 2006
By Sally W
Format:Paperback
I read the last book by this writer and thought it was hilarious and this one is even better - so funny and so true about people and their emotions and the way we live our lives today. Some hilarious characters - loved the stingy Australian flatmate - lots of laughs and a few tears. Looking forward to the next one now

3.0 out of 5 stars Something Borrowed.... 16 Mar 2010
By Butterfly
Format:Paperback
Firstly, I have to point out that in this book there is an almost identical episode to that in Emily Giffin's Something Borrowed (written two years before If I Were You) - the scene where Girl A goes to Girl B's flat and realises her ex-boyfriend is now sleeping with her friend by spotting the man's inscribed watch... mmm, very spooky...!!!! Apart from that, I did quite enjoy this book. It took a while to get going but the characters were fun, albeit a bit immature for 30 something women. Andy seemed a bit of a drip, being as he was described as super gorgeous it was very hard to imagine him that way. The Natasha storyline was good with the infatuation of the sleazy writer and the Olly and Sophie love scenes made me cringe! I thought the book was padded out a bit with Sophie's moms affairs. I did enjoy the book but think the author's other novels The Model Wife and Amy's Honeymoon are far better.
