This book made me want to drink tea with Eileen. What a wonderful story and great characters. I’ll definitely look for more books by Beth O’Leary.

This was my very first audiobook! I adored the narration - there was so much personality which really added to the story. I have realized though, that audiobooks are not really for me. It was difficult to remain focused and not doze off. I was constantly rewinding the audiobook, hence why it took me so long to get through!
I thought the story was so witty and fun. I was constantly giggling to myself. Leena and Eileen had such a genuine and pure relationship - it was so interesting to see how things unfolded during their “switch”.
I would love to pick up a hard copy of this book so I can re-read it! I feel like I was not able to truly appreciate the story via audiobook.
Overall, I certainly would recommend this book to anyone seeking a lighthearted, fun, easy read!

3.5 stars. A predictable yet cute story that felt to be more about Eileen than Leena (i want to be best friends with them both!). This story also prompted me to message my grandma more.
