Took me a while to get into it at first but enjoyed the characters once I managed to! Some plot points were predictable but it’s easy and enjoyable reading!

I thought this was sweet, albeit a bit long. I feel like it could have been about 25% shorter and would have been more enjoyable as a quicker read. I liked eileen and her story. Lenas was cute but could drag at times.

I love Beth O' Leary's writing so much and the choices for her audiobook narrators are always excellent. As an author, she imbues her characters with so much personality, hope and humour. I was initially hesitant at the premise of a grandma and grand-daughter swapping lives. But this story was so engaging, poignant and sweet. Both Eileen Cottons have my heart.
