A perfectly solid version of what it is. Nothing revolutionary but cute and sweet.

Imagine any Hallmark Movie + The Parent Trap (but with adult twins, so not cute) + a touch of The Holiday + Great British Bake Off. If that sounds promising to you, this is a book for you. If not, steer clear.

My first and only Holiday read this season, and what a cute one THE HOLIDAY SWAP was! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Baking, drama, multiple hospital visits, twins swapping places, fireman - everything a Christmas book needs!

I will say that the epilogue was Hallmark-level-cheesy but I think I can forgive that. The only thing that really gave me the ick was the "twins can feel each other's pain" thing, especially because was only sometimes.

Four stars, cute read!
