Leading The Way

The book is by Jane Green and is set in London. The main character Alice gives up her entire way of life and who she is to be with a man that isn’t good enough for her. His name would be Joe, a womanizing jack-ass that takes advantage of Alice and half of the women in London. Alice has a good friend in Emily who has the life that Alice wanted for herself, and the boyfriend Alice wanted for herself.
Alice would never cheat on Joe, but she always keeps the idea of Joe cheating on her in the back of her mind.

Things snowball on Joe durning his cheatfests and he ends up being shipped to New York for work. Alice buys a house in the country which Joe hates. Alice begins to let herself go, and by doing so really finds herself. She finds the strength to confront Joe and get the relationship back on the track it should be on.

Once you get past all of the English “slang” it is a really good read that I hated to put down. Put it on your must read list and let me know what you think.

I just started reading The Host today. I’m only to chapter 3, but I can tell you this thus far, she doesn’t vary much. Stephanie Meyer doesn’t have a versatile writing style. The book still reads as the Twilight series had; like a teenager had written it. The series itself was written for teenagers, but I could do without the simple repeating dialog, and typos. Seriously, who did the editing on her books? Do you realize that you’ve missed at least a typo per page? More
