The Switch

The Switch, Beth O'Leary Romance 338 pages 5/5 stars Synopsis:

Ordered to take a two-month sabbatical after blowing a big presentation at work, Leena escapes to her grandmother Eileen's house for some overdue rest. Newly single and about to turn eighty, Eileen would like a second chance at love. But her tiny Yorkshire village doesn't offer many eligible gentlemen... So Leena proposes a solution: a two-month swap. Eileen can live in London and look for love, and L Leena will look after everything in rural Yorkshire.

But with a rabble of unruly OAPs to contend with, as well as the annoyingly perfect - and distractingly handsome - local schoolteacher, Leena learns that switching lives isn't straightforward. Back in London, Eileen is a huge hit with her new neighbours, and with the online dating scene. But is her perfect match nearer to home than she first thought?

***

This book is heartwarming, sweet and just so lovely! It was really refreshing as I normally read crime / thriller books. O’Learys writing is charming and very witty - I loved Eileen and Leena! Their characters were just so loveable and made me smile... they are strong female leads too! It was a great audiobook choice, I loved listening to it every chance I got! Even though the ending is a little predictable, I still loved it! Most romance books are right?!

Beth O’Leary is such a good writer... I can’t wait to read her next book. Highly recommend to romance lovers!
