Oh boy, the book began with the potential to make it to my all-time favorite list, but sadly it didn't.

The second half is a bit underwhelming in comparison to the first.

Still, it's a lovely book with an interesting storyline.

I gave an extra half star only for the author's humor.
The book is flooded with shrewd punches which you will surely appreciate.

If you are looking for a fun wholesome read give it a try :)

I've loved every bit of it. There is no single part that I felt that was unnecessary.

I thought The Flatshare was a better story, but this was still cute. I listened to the audiobook from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Burned out grandma and granddaughter switch homes for 2 months in order to get a break from their current lives. I really enjoyed how this process helped them to discover themselves and brought their family closer together.

A very fun but also an emotional read. The way Leena, Eileen and Marian took the courage to try and be a better version of themselves and the way this book ended was so inspiring. There were many parts in this book that I could relate to and for that reason, it will always have a special place in my heart.
