The House Swap by Jo Lovett

4.0

Cassie is a children’s book author based on an island off the Maine coast. But her publisher wants her to set her next book in London. To do this she agrees to a house swap with James, a private equity finance guy with a swanky London flat but a bland and emotionless life.

Cassie makes friends with her neighbours, leaves a freezer full of food for James and just happens to have alpacas and chickens on her land. James leaves no food, no bedding and no notes when Cassie arrives.

They start chatting to each other and little by little get to know each other better and better. I really enjoyed this story. Both had emotional history to deal with and they helped each other with.

Despite some misunderstandings and awkward moments, the ending of this book is a happy one. A charmer for sure!

Thank you to the publisher Bookouture and NetGalley for the advance copy!
