About 80 pages into this book, I stopped for a few days to contemplate whether I wanted to finish it. Ultimately, I decided that I wanted to see where the story was going - perhaps the characters would redeem themselves - so I picked it up again and powered through. Boy, was I sorry.

I really enjoyed this book, it took me some time to get into it, but once i was i found it very hard to put down. I am a big fan of Carole Matthews and she never disappoints with her books and this book was what i would expect from her. I found that i could really relate to the location of the book and really pictured the scene. I first thought that Teri was going to have a full blown affair with Jamie, but that never really happened until halfway through thr book.I didn't expect the ending eith...more
I picked up this book in a charity shop for £1 because I was going on a long train journey and am a sucker for romances. The story is easy to get in to and a good read if you're not going to take it too seriously. There are some good little twists and turns and characters that you wonder about which turn out to have their own little plot lines, which is nice.
You do have to empty your mind before reading though- the whole concept is an affair and I did find myself losing respect for the main cha...more

I was very disappointed in this story. Why couldn't Jamie have been separated or in the process of getting divorced? I don't understand why people begin new relationships before ending the ones they are currently engaged in completely. I had no respect for either Teri or Jamie for carrying on, though it began innocently. It was hard to dislike Pamela because I thought she was getting a raw deal, though Jamie does go back to her, where does that leave Teri and the possibility that she's pregnant?...more
I read this in a couple of days in between Christmas shopping and getting ready to visit my in-laws before Christmas. It fitted the bill perfectly as easy-to-read pick up/put down chick-lit. I thoroughly enjoyed it, so was loth to put it down. In actual fact, I found this unexpectedly balanced in telling the story from the point of view of the guilt-ridden husband, the wife he was cheating on, as well as the hopeful mistress. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
I wish goodreads had half stars - this is probably more 2 1/2 than 2... It was a decent "chick lit" type of book, nothing special and quite predictable, but entertaining. The premise was interesting - coming at from the perspective of being a wife who met her husband when he was married to someone else, it was definitely a book that I felt sympathy for both the women involved, but I ended up being annoyed with them, too, for being so freaking stupid.
This book was truely brilliant, It tells the tale of Teri who meets Jamie on a train and they fall in love but the catch is that Jamie is married. Even though Jamie is doing something wrong the way his character is written makes you love him and it tells an affair from a different angle than just that of a man that cheats on his wife!
I like the way this story is written from the point of veiw of someone watching rather than being written from the point of view of one of the characters.

It is an ok book that deals with 2 strangers who meet at a train station and have an affair. This affair is awful and makes you dislike the story and the characters at the time, but overall, Matthews had created a solid read. Not one of her best, but a decent effort.

I started this book with high hopes. I love a good romance and this seemed another one of these easy reads. I was was soon in for a suprise. It was with that I read and finished this book. The characters are not likeable and the story was an uncomfortable read... I'm afraid it put me off picking up another book from this author.
I guess this finally confirms that "chick-lit" is not really my thing ..the copy I had came stuck on the front of a magazine and I thought it might be a good holiday read, but I finished it in a few hours. I left it on the train from Inverness to Edinburgh after I'd finished it, so it didn't even make it to the charity shop..
I generally dislike theme of affairs so my rating reflects that personal opinion. It's hard to imagine that a book that could have been over in five pages lasted over 25 chapters. It's about a girl who falls for a married man - who falls for her too. With pieces about his wife and how they all fit together.
I had mixed feelings about this book. I wanted to like the heroine...but she got involved with a married man. I'm also betting on a sequel because we are left without knowing if she's pregnant or not. On the positive side I did enjoy Carole Matthews writing style!
This is the first carole matthews book i have read and i loved it. When i finished the book i felt i needed another to continue the story maybe years later Teri and Jamie meet again. 10/10

The book was well written but I didn't really connect to the characters. More than some other genres, i think you need to like the characters in chick lit.
A complicated love story- an enjoyable, easy read that surrounds a relationship that begins from Platform 8.
I really enjoyed this book was a bit hard
To get into at the start but once you get into it you can't put it down :)

Girly rom-com. Found it on a bookshelf on my last day of my holiday and read it in one day. Easy read.
Quick read chick lit, had me lol at parts.
Enjoyed it - would make for a good summer read

Enjoyable easy read, set in my home town so interesting from that point too.
Not a bad read, very chic littish, definitely needs a sequel
Don't read this book! BAD!
Really good book :)
Not exactly a great book, but I started bookcrossing! :-)
Ugh this book was super annoying but i got thru it. Pass on this one!!
I totally enjoyed this book, it was very funny in places.
Although I enjoyed Wrapped Up in You by Carole Matthews, there was nothing I liked about this book. I didn't connect with -- or even LIKE any character. Yes, I read the summary beforehand but it bothered me that not a single character had morals. Everyone just seemed so slimy gross to me. Matthews also made England seem gloomy and depressing. I had to force myself to get through this, only to discover no real conclusion. Ugh.
