Product Description
Product Description
From the outside Vicky Townsley would appear to have it all. Features Director of the hugely successful Poise! magazine, she lives alone in London, is single and seriously successful. But she'd give it all up in a heartbeat for marriage, children, and a house in the country. Amber Winslow on the other hand, has exactly what Vicky Townsley wants; a huge stone mansion in Connecticut, children and a busy charitable commitment for the local Women's League.
But Amber isn't happy either. She hasn't found quite the fulfilment she had expected from being a full-time wife and mother, so when she spots a double page spread in Poise! magazine asking married readers to life swap with a glamorous, single journalist in London, she sits down and writes a letter. But she never expects to be picked...

There are some nice moments in the book but it all seems too false - Vicky being a bit scatty and Amber being the all american perfect is typical of Jane Green's getting less creative by the minute style. And I find her tone of: story telling at the beginning and end (this is a story about.....) thoroughly patronising for the mid twenties reader. Bring back the Babyville era.
Jane Green is simply writing to a tired old formula now with "fashionable" (desperate housewives in this instance)slants.
She is also STILL label/lifestyle obsessed despite harping on about how that doesn't mattter really
Regretably this book will be a best seller but it doesn't deserve to be
I'm not overly enamoured with this story, I found it hard to get into and although the the characters of both Vicky and Amber aren't unlikeable, there's no real depth to them, particularly Vicky. It is improving as I progress though.
The concept is a blatant rip off Wife Swap and Jane has really strayed from the usual grass roots of her stories - although some would probably praise her for this.
It's ok - but I hope the next is back to her old form.
Taking this book on holiday last year, unknowing what a jem i had bought! Read more
