Short and sweet YA novella about friendship and love. 

Two girls, from opposite backgrounds meet and form a friendship despite their differences. On their shared 16th birthday they accidentally cast a spell meaning they switch bodies. This is freaky friday with class and cultural differences and a smidge of Cinderella.

The two main characters are loveable and there is some witty dialogue. It is covers some grittier subjects such as child abuse and neglect. The story has a fairy tale like quality to it so there is a happy ending. 

Would happily have read a full length version of this story.

This little book is like a contemporary fairy tale for tweens. A sweet, and heartwarming feel good tale.
