I was expecting this book to be typical Jane Green, but it really wasn't. I think gone are the days of Babyville, Book Ends, and Jemima J. Through my late teenage years I so loved getting lost in the British Chick Lit of Jane Green, and lets face it, sometimes we all need to get lost in a story with road blocks, conflicts, high fashion, urban London living and a happy ending in the end. The book was deep and gut wrenching. If your expecting a light British Chick Lit - this isnt for you. I guess as Jane Green has gotten older, she has also evolved the writing of her books. Im just not quite ready to catch up. Its going to be a Urban Girl Chick Lit kind of summer for me.
