Thank you Atria and Simon Audio for review copies!
Read if you like heartwarming family dramas, dual POVs, and stories where strong women take charge, grow, and sometimes accidentally swap lives. Far and Away is like a cozy holiday movie with a twist—two women from opposite sides of the world (Texas and Germany) exchange homes for the summer, bringing their messy families, miscommunications, and unexpected friendships along with them. I adored the quirky Holt family, found Greta completely endearing, and fell hard for Jack and Mason—yes, the women shine, but the men hold their own too. While the pacing lags here and there and some parts felt a bit convenient, the third act pulls everything together beautifully, ending with the kind of satisfying emotional payoff that left me smiling (and maybe a little teary-eyed). From laugh-out-loud moments to sincere reflections on marriage, motherhood, and second chances, Poeppel nails the balance of humor and heart. The full cast audiobook is fantastic and made the multiple POVs easy and engaging—I couldn’t stop listening and now I miss them all.
