Editorial Review: Jane Green’s bestselling novels are rich with wry, clever insights into the romantic lives of her idiosyncratic heroines, winning them a devoted fan base. Now, with The Other Woman, Viking will reintroduce America to the inimitable Jane Green. If opposites attract, Ellie and Dan are perfect for each other. She’s impulsive; he follows all the rules. Ellie is a virtual orphan, whereas Dan’s family is as close-knit as they come. At first, Ellie is thrilled to be accepted into the Cooper clan and embraces Dan’s mom, Linda, as the mother she never had—until she begins to realize that Linda’s "mothering" is far more intrusive than even the best daughter-in-law can handle. What can Dan and his mother possibly have to talk about on the phone twice a day? And how has the intimate civil ceremony Ellie always dreamed of turned into a black-tie affair that would rival a royal wedding? Suddenly, Ellie finds herself wondering if it’s possible to get an annulment—from Linda. A hilarious yet touching look at mothers-in-law and what they teach us about ourselves, The Other Woman is a brilliant hit from a novelist whose star just continues to rise.

I'd recommend the ... Read More

Very cute story, heart warming as only Jane Green can write. Loved the way it ended.

Since my first Jane Green read was a success (Jemima J), the next time I went to the library I picked up "The Other Woman," which was the only other one they had. I was skeptical of the title, because I didn't really want to read about some relationship where a girl was stealing someone else's boyfriend/husband, but I made sure to read the synopsis where it clearly states that a mother is "The Other Woman."
I found myself frustrated through most of the book. While I can understand ... Read More

This book left a sour taste in my mouth. It's the first and only book I've read by Jane Green and I must admit, I'm not inclined to read the rest. The book moves much too quick for my liking and doesn't explain in enough detail anything. I would not recommend this book to anybody.

It's been a long time since I read a book in which I disliked the protagonist and liked the antagonist (Dan's mother Linda) so much. Ellie is in serious need of a psychiatrist, as her admittedly rocky childhood has left her with MAJOR issues. Linda, on the other hand, is a warm, loving, enthusiastic woman. Although she does tend to go overboard, I don't feel she's trying to run Dan & Ellie's lives. But everything she do angers Ellie to the point that she sometimes feels rage.
Admittedly ... Read More
