“A cross between Coronation Street and Bridget Jones…many laugh out loud moments.” Top 500 UK Reviewer
"An impressively fine first novel." Top 100 US Hall of Fame Reviewer
Jane's life on the face of it isn't really too bad...she has great friends like party girl Natasha who's always up for a laugh and her close pal Polly, always there for her and of course her loving parents, but things could still be better...
Most people she knows are either married or have kids and she has been single a while now and wonders if a good man is ever to be encountered again. The single life is far from a quiet one for Jane however, as she is constantly getting dragged to night clubs and bars by Natasha and the crew as well as enduring a particularly boozy weekend away at the seaside!
Jane loves a lot about her life, disregarding rude plumbers in her flat and dealing with annoying superiors and a smug sister, but as a certain someone takes her eye, is everything about to change and get a whole lot more serious or is the single life determined to keep her captive a while longer yet...

The characters were pretty likeable, and I think that Jane was a really relatable character as well as her friends. It was a cute story, really did have some funny moments in there. I didn’t fully understand some of the lingo because it was British, but you can figure it out using context clues from what is going on in the story, etc. I actually really liked how the terminology fit the British culture, and because of this book I definitely plan on checking out other British authors!The style of the story was one I haven’t really encountered before. I actually had a bit of difficulty getting through the whole thing. It reads sort of as if Jane is narrating her life in a superficial manner. So you get every little detail of what she’s doing, but not really the emotion behind it. It was a bit drawn out actually, where a single action would take up almost half a paragraph.
Honestly, I think with more editing and revising this would be a really enjoyable novel to read. Definitely worth giving the author a try!

Jane of Manchester an easy reading chicklit sure to make you laugh out loud! edition by JG Dow Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Not read this book yet, I have read J.G Dow book before, the information sounds good, my kind of reading
The book flowed nicely. I've always been a fan of the British lifestyle. Jane and company are so hilarious. I'll definitely look up the writer's other books.
I admit it, Jane grew on me. At first, I wasn’t convinced. She seemed like just another 30 year old stuck in a rut ok job, a lot of fun with good friends, but (alas!) no husband, let alone boyfriend. But J.G Dow infuses such good-heartedness in her protagonist that it’s hard not to root for her. The narrative flows more like a diary, capturing significant moments or conversations each day. It can get a bit repetitive, but Dow keeps the pages turning with thoughtful and humorous dialogue. I laughed out loud more than once. Jane of Manchester may remind you of Bridget Jones or Sex in the City, but Jane is really much more down to earth – she can be your neighbor or best friend. But what I like most about the book was how Dow portrays friendships and family to show just how important these are for us to maintain balance in our lives, and to provide us with much-needed perspective. Jane of Manchester is a thoroughly fun and enjoyable read.
Jane of Manchester by J.G. Dow is a rambling, diary-like look at the life of Jane, who works in a florist's shop, has good friends and supportive parents. While all may seem fine on the surface, Jane is somewhat at odds with her spot in life; while everyone around her is either getting married, already married with kids, or has a great plan of action, Jane is living a rather simple and uninspired existence. This disquietude tugs at her in a small way throughout the story, while nothing is inherently wrong, things are the same old, same old, day after day. The first person narrative fits this story well, it captures the character of Jane astutely, and weaves the story around her everyday activities. The backdrop of Manchester and the culture of the Brits is enjoyable and sensitively rendered. The author, Dow, also gives the story a somber touch by fully describing the alcohol infused lifestyle that many young woman engage in, which may be enlightening for some. There are a few funny moments in the book that thankfully allow it to rise above the mundane and ordinary as well. All in all, an entertaining, light, novel.
A rambling, free-flowing, diary-style inside look at the life of a thirty-year-old woman living an absolutely unremarkable life in inner Manchester. Jane has many things going for her loving parents close by, supportive girlfriends, an easy job at a florist's shop, and a very sympathetic boss. Her love life, however, is non-existent, and she worries that her window of opportunity for starting a family is shrinking and, with everyone in her circle either in a relationship or already married, she may become the one left on the shelf.
The first-person narration is charmingly candid, punctuated by many hilarious comments and humorous situations, but it does suffer from a certain sameness and repetition. A cross between Coronation Street and the Diary of Bridget Jones (thankfully without the overweight girl angst or the overdone klutziness).
Jane is a very likeable character. She's not the brightest bulb, but she has good instincts and a kind heart. Her friends are a cross-section, from new moms to wild party-girls, whose antics wear a bit thin after a while. I really liked Will; he's a well-drawn character minus the stereotypes.
However, there is a flip side to Jane's carefree social life, and its treatment is what elevates this book above the usual chick-lit standard. Without passing any moral judgement, J.G. Dow exposes the extent of the drinking culture that has become endemic among young UK women. Apparently, “having fun” requires guzzling as much alcohol as possible before passing out or being sick. The inevitable embarrassing behaviour and next-day hangover woes are also cause for much amusement.
Readers of a similar age to Jane and her friends will identify with their predicaments and get a kick out of her sardonic humour. Even though I'm not the ideal target audience, I found many laugh-out-loud moments. For me, the ending was a little too open-ended, but it clearly leaves the door open for a sequel.
