Product Description:
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.

A good chick lit book. Entertaining, but not ground breaking. No original or new ideas. Just fun observations about suburban Connecticut and London.

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. I love them. I really do. They used to be my secret ... after all, what serious reader wants to admit she reads them? Well, this one does.
And this one really is fun. I am a married housewife ... Read More

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.

Jane Green seems to keep on writing roughly the same book: a woman goes through an internal crisis of some kind, somehow manages to step outside her life so that she can gain perspective, gains some self-confidence, and everyone lives happily ever after. I don't mean this as a complaint. I bought the book because I was in need of a quick mindless read, and I got exactly what I was looking for.
In this book, we've got Vicky (30-something editor of a fashion magazine, never married, desperately ... Read More

I just don't get it. The cover is great and it ends there. I can't think of a more boring superficial story. I am on page 65 and I am not sympathetic to either main character yet. It is kind of like describing a TBS edited version of Sex and the City. Not my cup of tea, this one is off to the recycling bin or the library donation.
