Life as I know it
by Melanie Rose
Jessica is out walking her dog when she is struck by lightning. When she wakes up, the doctor insists she is someone else: a married women with four children.
Soon she is rotating between two different lives, when she goes to sleep in one life she wakes up in the other. Jessica is a single woman who has a dog. Lauren has been married for ten years and has four children.
Jessica struggles going from a single woman with no children to suddenly having four. And she finds out that Lauren might not have been the best mother. Lauren was selfish, cared only about herself and found her children annoying. The house was to remain spotless and they weren't allowed to have a pet, or play. The children notice a difference in their mother, as she is suddenly nicer and wants to play with them.
Jessica can only be awake in one life or the other at a time so trying to get that figured out was difficult for her, especially because when she is in one world she is in an almost coma like sleep in the other.
I really enjoyed this book, I enjoyed her living as Lauren, the mother of the four children. She genuinely cared about the children and tried to do a good job as she stepped into Lauren's life.
