The Back of the Book
Ever wondered what would happen if you got the chance to live the life you couldn't have?
Amber Winslow has got the kids, the hubby, the suburban home in Connecticut, USA and the feeling that somehow life is passing her by.
Vicky townsley is features editor at Poise! magazine in London, she's single, solvent and seriously successful - but she'd ditch it all for marriage, a counry home and kids.
So when one day Poise! offers one lucky married reader the chance to life swap for amonth with a glamorous, single journalist, Amber puts pen to paper ...
But neither Amber nor Vicky gets quite what they were expecting. And soon they find themselves asking: why does the grass look so much greener from the other side?

Book arrived today - in awful condition, I dunno what happened to it but it is soaking wet and Australia post put a sticker on the envelope saying "Book arrived wet in Australia". Fortunately it's summer here so I laid it in the garden to dry off as best as possible. I will re-write the BCID etc to make it better readable and fix it up ok.
Sorry to have such bad news, but it will continue it's journey. Thanks for sharing and thanks for sending all the way to Oz!!!

Right so after 3 days in the garden I was able to start reading. Oh how I loved this story! I think it appealed to me so much because I have been with my partner since I was 19 and sometimes I really think wow what if I hadn't settled down so early, maybe I should be playing the field etc etc. So it's nice to know the grass isn't always greener ;) I love Jane Green for a nice easy chicklit and this was exceptionally readable. Thanks for sharing.
I will try and iron it (must remember to turn off the steam function) and then pm the next person for their address.

oups, I received it last week and I totally forgot to journal its arrival. Thanks Bargainqueen for mailing it with those awesome bookmarks !!! I really like the one that was made for the Australian BC Convention and I might keep it ! Thank you Laura for sharing another great book.
I have started reading it and I should be done soon enough to send it before Christmas to Jessibud

I enjoyed that book, a lifeswap seemed like the perfect idea for both women, I read the book before Christmas and totally forgot to journal it afterwards, so I forgot some of it, but I do remember that both Amber and Vicky were awesome characters. This is one of Jane Green's best book!
Thank you for sharing Laura. Jessibud asked to be skipped in December and I haven't had an answer from Boomda181 yet, but I PMed her again tonight, so hopefully this book will manage to travel some more soon!

I haven't received anything from Boombda, but my email provider is being wonky ass it erases emails and do other stuff, I might have received her PM, but I wouldn't know, so I'm changing my email address for PMs and PMing her again. sorry for the delay!
The book is finally on its way to boomda, sorry for the delay.
Book arrived! I am looking forward to reading it, there are a couple of rings ahead of it and then I will journal more.
Not one of my favourite Jane Green novels. I found the story hard to immerse myself in, eventhough the idea of a life swap is really intriguing. I liked that Vicky''s storyline ended with many possibilities. I have contacted Stuff-Nonsense who asked to be skipped and am not waiting for AuburnCaMom response to send the book on its way.
I had to PM a few other people and the book will be on its way shortly.
