Headline Review

review 1: awesome... I really love this book.. though I don't think I will feel this way when I'm starting it, honestly. When I'm reading about Liza at the beginning of this book, I didn't like her..turn out that she's growing along the book. and Julie Cohen did this to all of her character. Lee, Mum, Will, even Ma Gamble, I learn that they have so much more than the first impression I had.. this character growing is something I love about a story.. so you can think that appearance can be deceptive.. we can't judge people if we don't know them that much.. When I finished this book, I feel I'm going to miss Liza so much..
review 2: A very enjoyable read. The identical twin switch idea is not exactly original - but this was different in that Liza (the rebel, care free tw... morein) took on the role of absent twin Lee, the good, dutiful, conscientious, organized, hardworking sister, who in a moment of flight, runs away from her responsibilities with the family business and her mother, once at the helm and now suffering from dementia. I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy the story which began with Liza as a stunt rider on a film set abroad, who in a moment of carelessness and complacency crashed a sports car and ruined her chances of further work. She returns to England to find her sister gone from the home - and she is left to pick up the pieces, only to realize that she discovers in herself a talent for management, and enjoys being regarded as the "good" twin. I did wonder how she could carry off the impersonation so convincingly but wearing Lee's clothes, she was taken at face value. Good characterization and description of small town life and twists to the plot make this an intelligent chic lit novel. Another author for me to look out for. less
