Bought (very cheaply) in Tescos the last time I was in the UK!

A light, easy, entertaining read, but not as good as her earlier books.

Amazon review
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, solvent, 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 Highfield 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..."Life Swap" is the story of what really happens when two women decide to walk in one another's shoes for one month. It's the story of the grass not being as green as you might think, and of discovering that happiness is not always where you expect it to be.

An enjoyable read - now sending to chelseagirl following the pink bookswap!

My "prize" from the recent Pink Swap - and this is certainly one of the most pink books I've ever seen!! Many thanks, I'm looking forward to this - and sorry for not journalling sooner, it actually arrived a few days ago but I haven't had a chance before now.

Vicky is living the single life in London - successful magazine editor, carefree and with plenty of cash and a friendly neighborhood "shag" to hand - but she dreams of living in the country with a husband, kids and dogs.

Amber is an American "Desperate housewife" - she has a gorgeous husband, cute kids, a wardrobe full of designer clothes and a fabulous house - but something is missing ....

A stray remark leads to Vicky and Amber swapping lives for a month in the name of research ... but will they find what they are looking for?

A good fun novel but the numerous references to fashion designers and labels went completely over my head and were actually a bit off-putting - I am, after all, the original Oxfam reject!
