Jane Moore (1) (1962–)

Fay Parker accepts Mark Hawkins's marriage proposal because she has a nagging worry she may otherwise never get married. They plan a lavish wedding at a chateau in the south of France, and Fay keeps trying to persuade herself she's wildly happy. When Mark invites two of his ex-girlfriends to the wedding, Fay, in the spirit of fun and fairness, decides to invite two of her ex-boyfriends. Then another guest of the groom shows up who proves to be a real shock to the bride. The path to the altar show more is really getting rocky.

I enjoyed the snarkiness of The Ex Files, since I don't like the sweet type of chick lit with the oh-so-adorable heroine. None of the characters here is entirely sympathetic. They all act rotten at some point or another. I did get a bit irritated at the flashbacks which showcase Mark and his best friend Brian's adolescent sexual exploits, which can't be interesting to anyone but a teenage boy. Still, this was an entertaining book. I hadn't read anything by Jane Moore before, but I noticed the thrift shop where I found The Ex Files also had Fourplay, her first novel, so I may pick that up too if they still have it. show less

If you are going to read chick lit make it a book by a British author. This is a fun book that was like a how to for how not to pick a partner to marry and how to definitely not plan the the wedding. Yes it was predictable, but it was entertaining.

Det är en okej bok som är lättläst och lite rolig men lite allvar finns i den oxå. Men med tanke hur många humoriska samtidsromaner av Brittiska författarinnor det finns så är kärlek@första.träffen bara en i mängden ablolut inget märkvärdigt med denna bok.

Fyra i leken är en relationroman med ett allvarlig tema otrohet. jag trode det skulle vara lite som Marian Keyes böcker men så är det inte. Tänkte först ge 3 i betyg men jag ångra mig. Visst har jag sträcktläst den men inte på grund av att den var så bra utan för att jag ville få slut på den och eftersom den är lättläst så gick det fort. Fyra i leken är kanske inte direkt tråkig eller seg men det finns ingen känsla i den och absolut ingen bok jag hade rekomenderat till show more någon. show less
