Additional Swapping Lives Information
|
What if a successful, single Londoner and a comfortable, Connecticut mother of two were to walk in each other’s shoes for a month? Vicky Townsley is the director of Poise! magazine and lives a glamorous London life. She has everything she wants—except marriage, children, and a house in the country. Amber Winslow has a stone mansion in Connecticut, two kids, and a nanny, but she hasn’t found the fulfillment she had expected from being a wife and mother. When she spots an intriguing contest in Poise! Amber impulsively enters, never expecting to be picked.
A must-read for every modern woman who’s ever considered the road not taken, Swapping Lives is a warm and realistic chronicle of two women who do more than wonder if the grass is greener on the other side of the Atlantic.

What Customers Say About Swapping Lives:

Although, I think Jane Green could've spent more time on what the women actually did during the swap than their lives before the swap. I really liked this book, and it was fun to see the swap. Regardless, it was still really good. This book was very pleasurable to read. It was nice to see that although both of these women desperately wanted to have a life similar to the other's, they eventually realize not to assume it is better until you know for sure.
Item was in the condition advertised. Very easy transaction. Product was shipped and received shortly after order was placed.
That might work for awhile but eventually readers such as myself will catch on and move on to an author with something to say. 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 the fact that her name on the cover will generate sales. 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.
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. This is the first book of Jane Green's I have read. This book is a lighthearted, fun, quick read. It's a relaxing book which doesn't require you to rack your brain trying to keep up with it. 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.
Just fun observations about suburban Connecticut and London. No original or new ideas. A good chick lit book. Entertaining, but not ground breaking.
