this book was really good ππππππππππππππππππππ LIKE I CRIED AND I DIDNT EVEN MEAN TO DO THAT πππππππππ
i loved the fmcs a bunch and celeste is a sweetheart ππ«Άπ½ sheβs so darling and ughhh i loved her and her husband is wonderful and she deserves the world. i was also kinda hoping for sapphic shenanigans between celeste and wendy but i appreciated what actually happened throughout the story and the emotional growth the characters went through. their friendship and the way they came together to make their lives better for each other was so sweet.
there wasan emotional affair, a greater sense of appreciation for the good things that they already have and a dissolution of an unfulfilling marriage LIKE IM CHEERING πππ anywayyyyβ given the concept for this is literally freaky friday, i thought the execution of this would be kinda meh but it was really good. i just love women and them making better lives for themselves through the power of friendshipβ like barbie and mlp really knew what they were talking about πππ«Άπ½π«Άπ½π«Άπ½π«Άπ½π©·π©·π©·π©·π©·

I picked this book up because I always love the stories where people switch bodies and learn the other person doesn't actually have it better. I needed to read a book this month about being thankful and I figured this one would meet that prompt! Loa.
So, obvious by the end they are definitely thankful. However, I didn't expect to really learn anything new from this book. I read it to be something light in between some bigger books. Yet I learned a very valuable lesson about being productive with my time.
The story follows two moms. One mom, Wendy, runs her own business and takes care of the house and the kids while her husband, the sculptor, pretty much does whatever he feels like. The other mom, Celeste, is a stay-at-home mom who makes up different tasks to make herself feel busy but never really develops her own interests.
Obviously both feel like they have it worse, however, in the end they both learn some really valuable lessons on how good they have it, but also on how they can be a better versionnof themselves.
Very much in the adult contemporary/comedy spectrum of genre. There is mild cursing, but no sexual scenes. Definitely worth the read!

3.5 stars. I enjoyed the premise of the book. I liked how both characters learned more about themselves and the other. Although I still felt like the book put working moms above stay at home moms. Iβd recommend this book. Who doesnβt enjoy a Freaky Friday plot!?
This just didn't grab me enough to keep trying. It's a DNF for me.
Solid fun and very much a book I would have been heavily into when I had a little kid at home (it resonated less now). Itβs a good mom twist on a classic concept even if sometimes both characters are caricatures of themselves, since that is kind of what makes this sort of swap work.
