there is nothing more comforting than Any Poeppel’s writing. Loved this story and the ending. Easiest, feel good, “rom com” read. Loved all of the characters. It wasn’t always easy to understand the German that was sprinkled in.

✨What it is about:
Two women swap homes, Texas for Berlin, to escape their messy lives, but neither expects the chaos that follows. Between family drama, culture shock, buried secrets, and unexpected twists, Lucy and Greta’s lives get turned upside down.✨
💭My thoughts:
This was a funny one! Two women looking to escape their chaos swap houses, and of course, what could possibly go wrong? This was a heartfelt story about second chances, starting over, and finding yourself in the most unlikely places. The supporting characters added a lot of depth without taking over the whole storyline, which I really appreciated. It was fun seeing each family adjust to a new place and culture, too.
The story did a nice job showing how sometimes you have to completely step out of your life to really see what’s worth holding onto. Super engaging and entertaining, full of quirky characters you’ll easily love, this is one I definitely recommend throwing in your beach bag this summer!
