review 1: I don't often read chick-lit, but this one kind of sparkles in the same way that a good rom-com film does. Yes, it's light and a little fluffy, but it's funny and sweet and sometimes serious too. I was surprised at how believable the whole thing was, despite the "time slip" element of the plot - it all slotted together very nicely. The characters were likeable and familiar, the situations were realistic and the developing relationships were wonderful to read.It's a lighthearted look at how a modern woman copes when plunged into a time when all mod cons are missing and she has to make do with what's available, learning new skills and discovering that she's capable of far more than she ever imagined.As a bonus, there's a "which decade should you live in?" quiz at the back (i... morencidentally, it turns out I'd be right at home in the fifties!).
review 2: Noughties girl reporter Rosie falls through a crack in time (or does she?) and lands in the drab greyness of the 1950s. Is it another virtual reality show - The 1950s House? But where are the hidden cameras? Why is her boyfriend Will called Billy and what's happened to her best friend Caz?This is an undemanding but utterly enjoyable read (I raced through it in two sittings). Sharon Griffiths is a good storyteller and setter of scenes. More please. less

A clever, breezy read that piqued an interest in learning more about Britain in the post-war 1950's.

As a child of the 50s I enjoyed the contrast between the two periods. The 50s were well portrayed.
