The Other Woman

Ellie and Dan are living proof that opposites attract. He always follows instructions and she throws the manual away. He loves sports whereas Ellie's allergic to any form of exercise. Ellie doesn't have a mother. And Dan does - a mother who wants to take over EVERYTHING. At first Ellie is thrilled to have Linda as her adopted mother and to be a part of the close, loving Cooper family. But when she and Dan decide to get married and wedding plans progress, she starts to wonder: is it normal for Linda and Dan to speak on the phone twice a day? How on earth do they come to be having a reception with Chilean bloody seabass and humongous bloody white ribbons tied everywhere when all she wanted was a quiet registry office? In fact, is she marrying Dan OR HIS MOTHER? And Ellie's problems have just begun. When she discovers she's pregnant she realises that Linda's only been rehearsing for the real takeover. She seems to want to live her life through Ellie and in the words of the immortal Princess Diana, there are three of them in the marriage.

    Be thankful for mother-in-laws everywhere...

    I liked Jane Green before reading The Other Woman and this one didn't let me down. Ellie is looking forward to marrying Dan, the love of her life she never thought she'd meet. The only drawback is the over-indulgent, over-bearing and over-involved other woman - Dan's mother.

    I was expecting a decent yet predictable story of a daughter-in-law/mother-in-law relationship but was really pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns that made the story extremely readable. The characters have depth, and flaws which make them incredibly human.

    And now I'm just grateful that my Mother-in-law isn't like this one.

    Funny Read

    Great funny read. Typical mother in law from hell story, with some surprising twists and turns. Made me smile.
