If I were you by Julia Llewellyn

I really enjoyed this book for it’s ability to relax me and make me forget about the messy house and stresses around me.

The story is about two friends Natasha and Sophie who have been best friends since school and how they secretly envy each others lifestyle. 

Natasha is single with a high flying career, a fantastic flat but finds love with a man who is already engaged to someone else.

Sophie has been in a relationship for a few years and wants to get married, have babies and set up home.  Trouble is her boyfriend won’t ask her to marry him.

The story explores relationships at different levels, what they are looking for, what they end up with and the compromises that are made along the way.

Light hearted and funny, it hits on emotions that many of us have probably all felt at some time including the lengths we would go to for our man (whether it’s the right man is another matter).  It also shows the difference between men and women’s concepts of relationships in a humerous way.
