This is the story of Lenna, an over worked and exhausted young woman, living in London, who has not dealt with her grief over loosing her sister and her grandmother, Eleanor, who is always helping others and getting involved in the community. She is lonely and wants to find love but has limited options where she lives. Cue a life swap!

I first requested this on net galley after reading (And loving) the flat share by the same author. After reading 5% I knew I needed to read a physical copy to be able to enjoy and do it the most justice so I pre-ordered my copy and waited.

It arrived on publication day and was in my possession for less than 12 hours before I finished it. I LOVED IT!

I was really worried that this wouldn’t live up to my expectations from the flatshare and I was still unsure to start with, the story was good and the characters were strong but it didn’t seem to have the humour that I loved from the flat share but as soon as Arthur starts interacting with the characters, there it was! From that moment I absolutely fell in love with the book!

I really enjoying thinking about all the people that are behind the doors in flats in London and that maybe sometimes they just need a little understanding and someone to take the time to see them properly.

My favourite idea by far was Lenna befriending the grumpy neighbour next door and I could have read a whole book just in their friendship!!

Thank you so much Beth for another absolutely fantastic book.
