5.0 out of 5 stars Georgeous!, 17 Jan 2008
This was the first Georgia Beers novel that I read and I was not disappointed.

I don't want to share too much of the plot but essentially the story centres around the blossoming friendship between two women from completely different backgrounds, Alex & Jennifer, who meet at the lakeside which both their homes front on to. Alex lives there with her dog and is spending the summer writing a novel. Jennifer, who is very wealthy, has bought their lakeside retreat with her husband and is planning to spend the summer there decorating the place.

The story is told very beautifully and emotionally, you can imagine that the setting for the story is idyllic, that the main characters are vibrant, witty and beautiful and it is one of those books that you will want to revisit time and time again.

I would also highly recommend Georgia Beers novel 'Too Close To Touch' in addition to this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Curious Wine has a rival!, 16 Nov 2004
By M. Jones (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an absolutely wonderful book, you have to buy it! It's as good as 'Curious Wine' and deserves to become a classic too. It's beautifully written and the characters and story are unbelievably easy to relate to. It's also a very sexy read! This book will be re-read from cover to cover several times. Do not lend it to anyone, even your best friend because you will not get it back!

3.0 out of 5 stars Ho hum................, 22 May 2009
By Witless544 (Wessex, England) - See all my reviews
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a few hours curled up with a good book as much as the next old dyke, and if the book features characters I can relate to, well, so much the better. I must have read dozens of these 'lesbo-lit' paperbacks over the years and I have to ask myself why they are all so damn' predictable? I find that I can guess what's going to happen before I've even got to the bottom of the third page. This doesn't mean I'm brilliantly clever, on the contrary, it means that the plot events are signposted miles ahead! And that said, I ask myself why I carry on reading to the end. Cos I always do.
I think one answer might be that, as lesbians, we are so starved, even in the 21st century, of manifestations of our own culture, that if and when we find a film or a book with lesbian characters we latch onto it - almost with gratitude! Shouldn't be like that, but I fear it is.

This book, 'Thy Neighbour's Wife' by Georgia Beers is, in my opinion, pretty duff. Trite and predictable to the nth degree. There is one unusual thing: the author, presumably because it is a hobby of hers, spends quite a few pages describing in tedious, mind-numbing detail, the game that I think we Brits call Beach Volleyball. To me it reads awfully like padding - awfully like. It's certainly awfully like boring.....

The two protagonists in the story, beautiful, angst-ridden ex-teacher Alex Foster and beautiful, well-heeled and married Jennifer Wainwright find themselves neighbours at adjacent lake-side properties in upstate New York. Conveniently for the development of the plot, Jennifer's lawyer husband is rarely home. The women meet when Jennifer captures Alex's runaway dog. Incidentally, the author's frequent descriptions of said dog being allowed, even encouraged, to lick the women's faces I found quite stomach-turning!
So, I won't spoil the plot, and, reading the other reviews, I know I'm in a minority of one here, but this is a desperately nondescript book, predictable from start to finish.

Every time I get to the last page of one of these slim little potboilers - every damn' time - I fling it aside, angry with myself for having wasted hours of my time reading it, and promising myself I won't do it again - until the next time. Perhaps it is the triumph of hope over bitter experience..........

1.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish
People who gave this 5 stars must have read a different book to me. It's predictable, boring and badly written. I feel it was a complete waste of money.
