Ilustration Concering Books To Have and to Hold
What happens when your Prince Charming turns out not to be so charming after all? In To Have and To Hold, bestselling author Jane Green offers a sizzling, highly entertaining look at romantic relationships after we say “I do.”Alice knows she should be happy. A charming twenty-eight-year-old with a successful catering business, she’s always dreamed of a rose-covered cottage in the English countryside, filled with children and animals and home-cooked meals. Her favorite attire is comfy jeans, her best manicure features garden dirt under the nails. But when her teenage crush—the wealthy, dashing man-about-town Joe Chambers—wants to make her his bride, Alice is more than willing to play Cinderella to Joe’s prince. Never mind that he wants her to change—a diet, ice-blond highlights, stilettos, snooty gallery openings—and that he’s allergic to nature and kids. She tells herself she’s happy to sacrifice for love, and besides, with Joe’s stunning good looks and high-profile career at a top financial firm, every woman in London wants to be in her shoes.
But that’s just the problem. Despite Alice’s efforts to be the perfect wife, Joe soon reveals a penchant for being hopelessly unfaithful. When a notorious indiscretion with a female colleague forces Joe to transfer to New York, Alice’s life turns upside down. As Joe continues to sneak around, and her best friend’s beau offers a tempting glimpse of what real love could be like, Alice must decide how much Cinderella she can take before her deepest desires win out—and if she can summon up the courage to find real happiness on her own.
Delicious, witty, and packed with sparkling sex appeal, To Have and To Hold is an unputdownable read that will have you rooting out loud for its endearing heroine. A #1 bestseller in Britain, this latest tale from the beloved, utterly winning Jane Green proves that the search for true love doesn’t always end when someone dons a veil, and offers a lively, refreshing take on modern marriage.

I picked up this older paperback at my local library... By some random coincidence, I keep reading books about cheating in marriages! It's not saying anything about my own relationship and actually makes me feel a bit more secure in my own marriage. This was a light read and interesting to see how the dynamics of marriage can change as the people change. It also shows that you should be upfront about yourself before marriage and also shouldn't try to change people from their natural tendencies.I read a ton of mixed reviews on this book, so I was a little leary about it, but I must say I really enjoyed. I love how the main character was able to find the happiness she deserved and be herself!
After reading i was like WTF,making mockery of vows and friendshipthe wife Alice was blind to all the signs which keeps nagging the wife that something is fishy,she keeps herself busy by socializing and in their country house,the hubby Joe just can't seem to have control on his lust ,seemed to be any woman who walked by he wanted to have sex with her,he is addicted to sex and seemed to me he might have missed out some therapy sessions in teens that is why now at age 38 he needed counseling and
Alice had a schoolgirl crush on Joe. When she runs into him years later he's still gorgeous, rich, charming. And he's ready to settle down - with Alice! She can hardly believe her luck. And starting with the wedding, she changes every single thing about herself to be what Joe wants. This was an excellent read; intelligent chick-lit. The characters were real and believable. Even the lying, philandering husband and the women willing to cheat with a married man are portrayed with a degree of
maybe because I'm a sucker for happy endings, but loved this book
Not a bad book but a book that was definitely written 15 years ago. Im so glad that romance/fiction has moved away from the classic story line of man marries woman, man changes everything about woman, man cheats on woman and woman finally figures out that she has a backbone in the last 20 pages of the book and becomes happy. I like Jane Green and I liked this book but it didnt have much substance
2.25 starsI... Don't know how to review such books. I mean it wasn't bad, but I didn't enjoy it either. Neither did I want to put it down. Like what do I even say about such books? We know before getting into the story that guy is unfaithful. But you don't exactly get mad at him... You just don't care about him one way or the other. The girl. Woman, I mean. You can say that this is the story of her finding out her true happiness lies in making herself happy, but we already knew that. She already
