The Switch by Beth O'Leary
5.0

This book was like an amazing cup of tea. It was heartwarming, comforting and a just what I needed. I really enjoyed The Flatshare but have to say The Switch was even better. I loved the generational differences between the characters and the aspect of switching lives to really find out what you need.
Leena was just so darn cute and normal. I totally could see being friends with her, especially in the business world. And the instant connection between her and the neighborhood, swoon! I loved the romance.
Eileen was a delight. She was witty and so adventurous. I loved seeing her work with online dating as a 79 year old woman and take on a non-commitment dating life. The way her story ended, also swoon!
These two - ugh so good! Mixed in with the heart wrentching death of Leena's sister from cancer and the road to understanding her grief, this book really had it all for me.
