astridandlouise 's review for:

An Englishwoman in New York by Anne-Marie Casey
3.0

I enjoyed this book, but from the outset it wasn't what I was expecting.
The cover art gives a completely different setting in your mind to expect compared to what it is that you actually receive.
It was like SATC featuring women that relate to most of society as the main characters (aka women in their forties, struggling with balancing motherhood with their own wants, needs and desires.)
The storyline begun from the get go, no introduction to characters or their lives, they were just introduced and sometimes it was a little confusing to remember who was who, who did what etc.

Other than that I enjoyed it as it was easy to read and the storyline wasn't overly terrible. typical chick lit fiction that I always enjoy reading.
