- One very crucial flaw
I'm a big fan of Jane Green's work but she really missed the mark with this one. Both of the main characters could have died at any point in the story and I wouldn't have cared less.

There was absolutely nothing to like about either of them. Both of them were selfish and self absorbed and both of them did nothing but whine about their perfectly good lives.

Like many successful authors I get the feeling that Jane Green now just throws a few words on paper and counts on ... Read More

- fun, quick read
This is the first book of Jane Green's I have read. I find this book largely appealing because I work in the area surrounding the fictional town of Highfield, CT. Green's characterization of the Highfield women, their homes and their lifestyle is spot on.

I do think that the book can be cliche and predictable at times but that's one of the reasons I like it so much. It's a relaxing book which doesn't require you to rack your brain trying to keep up with it. This book is a lighthearted, ... Read More

- Definitely Fun!
I usually give chick lits a three-star for various reasons; they're easy to read and it doesn't take much mental energy to read them; they're predictable; they're usually the same, where woman meets boy, falls in lust and gets her heart broken or captures her prince; it's always about single women.

- Interesting topic but the book needed more substance
Jane Green is one of my favorite authors, but she spent too much of the book describing the characters lives before they switch places (the swap didn't occur for over 200 pages in the book which is more than halfway!). The lives of the women are interesting yet the time in which they swap needed more substance, more detail. I felt like as soon as they swapped, Green shared a few stories and then they switched back quickly.
