Book Review: Switchcraft by Lowri Turner

It's about a pair of twins - Emma & Gill, now in their late thirties. They may look alike, but as much as possible they try to differentiate from each other. They love each other to bits, but they just wouldn't want to be thought as the same all the time.

Emma is married with a step-daughter "inherited" fr her husband's (Max) ex-wife (Dominique), successful, highly strung, motivated / driven to achieve her goals, love organizing things etc

Gill on the other hand is single, still looking for Mr Right, works in a bar as a waitress, unorganized, couldn't care less about being successful as long as she has constant supply of ciggies & booze. Not tht she's a drunk / chain smoker... She's just...... carefree?

Both are fed-up of their lives & decided to swap roles for 2mths. Hell broke lose went each of them found tht they like their new lives more than their previous one. All would have been fine, since Gill is more than happy to play mother hen to Emma's stepchildren (yea... plural now cos' d ex-wife dumped her son - an offspring from her affair after Max) on Emma & Max & she kinda jumped into bed with Max already. But due to some misunderstanding (on Emma's part), her fairy tale new life was not as good as she thought & wants out; when Gill wants to continue being in.

Hell broke loose when Emma publicly denounced Gill & exposed the ruse in front of their parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary. It was a jumble of confusion after tht; which was actually quite hillarious.

Verdict: The start was really boring as you plod through the whining & complaining of each of their lives... It starts to get interesting after the switch. Entertaining from then on.

I tend not to drop many comments, but i did a few searching and wound up
here "Book Review: Switchcraft by Lowri Turner".

And I actually do have 2 questions for you if you usually do not mind.

Could it be only me or does it appear like a few of the comments
look like they are left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are
posting on additional sites, I'd like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list of every one of all your community pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
