Advantages: Good easy read

Disadvantages: Annoying at times

If I Were You is a book by Julia Llewellyn Smith.

It's about two girls, Natasha and Sophie, who are best friends.

Natasha is a career girl with a great job and a lovely flat. Sophie is in a long term relationship with a great man. Natasha and Sophie have been best friends since childhood, but they've always been jealous of the other - Natasha believes that Sophie's the attractive one with all the men interested in her. Sophie believes that Natasha's the intelligent one with the great career. The book follows both their lives and their feelings about each other's lives and shows the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Natasha's longing to meet a man and have a relationship, which Sophie has but isn't happy with - Sophie wants to have enough money to live as she pleases, which Natasha has but it isn't enough.

A great read, a bit frustrating at times as you want each girl to make different decisions to those they do make, but an overall good read.

Summary: Two girls who are jealous of each other and can't be happy with what they have!
