5.0 out of 5 stars The mother of all romantic comedies, 22 May 2005
This review is from: The Wives of Bath (Hardcover)
Two women. Both with fantastic carreers. Both just found out they are pregnant. They hate each other to bits and find themselves in the same town on the other side of the Altantic!!! What are the odds? Marvellous plot, fantastic writting and sooooo real! I read this in one go! Gripping storyline. Very emotional with funny laugh out loud moments and teary "I feel for you" moments. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Had me crying (from laughter) out loud!, 15 Mar 2006
By Sandra Griffiths "barbrafan007" (Bishop's Stortford, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wasn't really sure what to expect as this was the first I've read by this author. But as I started reading ity, I just couldnt put it down. There was always something that happened which kept me glued to see what happened next. Sure the charachters are somewhat cliched, but it was still a fun read and there were places where I had to laugh out loud. At one point, during my lunch break at work, I was hysterical with laughter, tears streaming down my face and my work collegues thought I was mad! Lol.
Anyways, I thouroughly enjoyed it, though I agree that it could have ended better. But I will definately read more of Wendy'd books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great read, really enjoyed...., 3 Sep 2006
By A. D. Simpson "Book worm" (Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After having tried to get into a couple of books recently neither kept my attention. This one however was harmlessly addictive. I didn't want to put it down and read in a couple of weeks. I loved the way it was two stories in one which constantly overlapped. I found it really easy to pick up where I had left off (unlike the other books I had tried to read). It made me chuckle but there were also more emotional bits too. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definately read more of this author's books. A sign of a good book is where you can clearly imagine the scene in your head and I could!

To the reviewers, who gave it more than two stars: did we read the same book? This book is cliched, not funny, the writing is bad, the story is even worse. Read more
