review 1: I enjoyed this book but wasn't totally impressed with the plot or characters. The story was interesting enough to keep me reading, but my main criticism is that it just isn't believable- there were a couple of drastic, immediate personality changes which failed to convince me at all. The long-awaited twist (highlighted in the blurb) was initially dramatic, but the failure of the characters in the book to react to it, and therefore its lack of impact on any events in the book, meant that it became dull and redundant. Character-wise, I found Joanna and Alexa interesting, multi-layered characters with complex present and past relationships. However, I found the characters of Hollie and James very one-dimensional and their self-obsessive fairy-tale love story very superficial... more and unrealistic. Overall this is an easy, enjoyable holiday read, but not much more that that.
review 2: I liked the book, it was light-hearted if not far fetched in some places. I didn't really feel for Alexa saw it coming from a mile off. It was a bit predictable in terms of what was going to happen and the little shock twist towards the end wasnt that much of a surprise. Most characters likeable, Holly, Joanna and James, the main ones. The love development between James and Holly was a bit sickening and over the top. Overall, a good read. less
