I'd heard a lot of great things about Jojo Moyes and selected this title as my first read from her. I'm not sure if it was overhyped for me or if it's just not my cup of tea, but I felt a bit "meh" about it throughout.
I found the dialogue humorous at times, but nothing notable. A few of the characters' personal struggles were relatable, but I often found them dislikable because of how they handled those struggles. The story was also nothing fantastic - there were plot points that I would've enjoyed a further look at and areas where things seemed to drag on pointlessly. It was admittedly interesting enough to keep reading, but I think I just wanted to finish it.

This was such a fun book to read. It's the first book I read by Jojo Moyes and I am tempted to read more books from her. It's a book about women named Nisha and Sam who end up switching their bags, which affects their lives in significant ways, with themes such as discovering yourself and female friendship. I was more interested in Nisha's story than Sam's story but both were interesting in the end. I highly suggest this book to anyone looking for a fun read, especially close to Galentine's Day.
