review 1: This was a bit of a departure from my usual type of choice and it made a nice change. The story is compelling and I found myself reading on because I wanted to know how it turned out. None of the principal characters are particularly endearing, being as they are flawed and perhaps rather self absorbed but that made them more true to life although I'm not sure they were redeemed in any way by the end of the story.
review 2: I loved this. Loved how it twisted the cliches, loved how it knew exactly what to give and take from its characters. A plot twist with Poppy at the end was excellent.I have been bored with chick lit of late. It seemed to force its female protags into stupidity for convenience. I liked how Poppy was genuinely naive here, and how the author was... moren't afraid to make her a bit selfish and mean. I didn't "like" her, but as a mother, I certainly sympathised with her, and her ending was so unexpected for the genre that it was satisfying food for thought.The "other woman" concept is handled so well. All the women in this book are "the other woman," to an extent, and eacxh has real flaws and motivations. You can see how a woman you know could fall into what is usually a reviled and pitied position. For me, there was a powerful punch beneath the wit and charade on display here. Best book I read last year (the one I remember most clearly, certainly). less
