About this listen

The laugh-out-loud, TOP 100 bestseller!

Tess Simpson needs a break!

No one appreciates her at home. No one appreciates her at work. And now her dog has died. She’s had enough!

Maybe what she really needs is a break from hopeless husband, Dave, the ungrateful ‘kidults’ and the lacklustre job.

River Romero needs a break!

She’s had success in the past, but screenwriting is a tough career in a tough town and her next script has got to fly or River’s dream career is over.

The swap!

Everything about River’s L.A. life sounds exciting to Tess, from the condo with a pool, to the Hollywood glitz.

Everything about Tess’s English country life sounds so calming to River, from the wisteria over the front door to the peaceful bedroom.

Both women want their lives to change, but real life isn’t like the movies.

And what if getting away from it all isn’t all it’s cracked up to be?

A laugh-out-loud, emotional listen, perfect for fans of Fiona Gibson, Tracy Bloom and Sophie Ranald!

Don’t miss this book.

A slow build into a delightful story. Without giving too much away, the characters in this book are living in a rut, and a house and continent swap brings back a zest for life, for all concerned . Narration excellent as well.

Nice story but distracting American accent

Finding it very difficult to understand the American characters because the accents make them all sound like chain smoking Disney villains.
