Very cute! My first audio book...ever! I must say I did hesitate for a hot second because I wasn't sure if I would like an audio book. Everyone kept saying how amazing this one was and I must agree. It did take me a bit of getting used to at first but once I did...I loved it!
What was not to like about this book?! The Switch..guess what it is about? Yesss! You are right, it is the classic switch. Except this time, it is totally charming, sweet and entertaining. Leena has struggled with the death of her sister. She copes by working..constantly. She has no life other than work. When she is forced to "take a vacation," well she is not a happy camper! What is she going to do with herself for two months? Switch places with her grandmother, that is what she is going to do.
Enter Grandma Eileen...79 years young and looking for fun! She recently got rid of her cheating loser of a husband and is ready to move on. Yesss! Eileen is literally signing up on dating sites. She is such a funny, entertaining character, I truly loved her. You go Eileen! She was rocking those sites! I can't tell you how many times I laughed or gasped when something funny came out of her mouth! I loved Eileen- she was the best part of the story for me! Thanks Jayme for suggesting this one!
I really enjoyed the listening to this delightful audio book. The narrator was wonderful and a joy to listen to. I love a British accent- I really wish I had one! This was such a fun listen! Many thanks to Macmillan Audio for this ARC!

It was great! I could take it along during my walks! Totally agree. The narrator was really good.
Thanks so much Julie! Yes! It was fun for a change!
Thank you Kaceey! Yes it was fun!
Thanks Jan so much! I hope you love it. It did take me awhile to get into it, but I think that is simply because I was not used to listening. Once I chilled out and realized I was going to have to go with the pace of the narrator, I enjoyed it! LOL
Right??? It just sounds so...polished! I love it.
Thanks so much Christina! It was a good audio to start with! Glad you enjoyed it as well.
So...I really struggled at first...because you lose control over the pace. I wanted to speed it up. Once I got into the characters, it was really good. So I can relate!
Oh I bet! This was a good one to start with! I think it might be a good idea to read some reviews before my next audio...just in case!
Thanks Marilyn! It took me ages to finish. Not because I didn't like it but I had multiple books going on. Looking forward to your review!
This was my first! It was a good one Sue! I hear you though, I have put it off for some reason. I did enjoy it!
Thanks Marilyn for the kind words! I appreciate it. Oh my gosh I saw your review, so glad you loved it as well!
Of course my friend! You have great taste!! Thanks!
Thanks so much Fran! OMG Eileen was fantastic!
