Media Reviews

"Green's latest, like her more inspired ventures, is hard to put down, thanks to affable leading characters and interesting, if not particularly revealing, commentary on the cross-Atlantic cultural gap." - PW.
"Clothes, bags, shoes, romance, self-acceptance-all we've come to expect and done well enough." - Kirkus.
"Green's (The Other Woman) witty blend of chick lit and mom lit allows readers to escape and live vicariously through these two characters." - Library Journal.
