Amanda's Reviews > The Other Side of the Story

** spoiler alert ** I liked this book better than I had expected. I very rarely read 'chick lit', but it can be nice to relax with, something cozy and mindless (meant in the best way!). I really liked Jojo, I loved how she lived in a very grey area - she was having an affair with a married man, but she felt so guilty and couldn't bear to be the cause of a broken home. Gemma seemed really immature for her age, and her whole writing thing really bugged me. The story she wrote sounded crap and it didn't seem fair to reward that sort of non-effort with money. Lily I sort of liked, but sort of didn't. It annoyed me how paranoid she was about Gemma getting revenge. I really really disliked Anton, I never figured out what Lily, or Gemma, saw in him. He hurt Gemma, and even though they were broken up at the time he didn't even care. Even though Lily was so upset over it, he still didn't care! And he was happy to sit back and be depressed over his crap job and let Lily stress over writing without even bothering to try and do anything to save them. I liked the way the story was told from every viewpoint, so that you got to fully understand what happened.
