Fast approaching 50, Jayne's had more than enough of them.

A sparkling romantic comedy about lost chances found and walking in someone else's shoes, perfect for fans of Jane Green and Tess Stimson.
I like this book. I enjoyed reading it and surprised to find the overall ratings is so low. I like the storyline, characters. This is an easy and enjoyable book to read. Reflects on our daily lives.... How we wish we can exchange our life with someone else, temporarily. I got confused reading the 2 names though, Jayne and Jane, and I noticed the author also have some typo errors in the names too. But overall this is a good read, very entertaining.
Also ich finde, aus der Idee hätte man durchaus mehr rausholen können. Ziemlich mühsam fand ich die ständigen Perspektivsprünge, die teilweise sehr unvermittelt gesetzt wurden und dass relativ schnell klar wurde, woraus es hinauslaufen würde. Die Charaktere sind für mich eher blass geblieben. Daher kann ich nicht mehr als zwei Sterne geben.
Although I have not finished this book yet, I am finding it rather boring. I feel like there is no point to this story... I will write more once I have finished :)
