Far and Away by Amy Poeppel
5.0

Two women swap houses in Dallas and Berlin at the last minute with minimal communication via Instagram as Lucy knew Greta's sister during a college semester abroad. 

Greta and her husband Otto were planning on a one year sabbatical at a New York City hospital that becomes a year in Dallas instead. Their apartment in Berlin will be empty and they need somewhere to live in Dallas. Lucy, her eighteen year old son and eight year old twins are looking for a break for at least the summer while Lucy's husband is on a six month work engagement with NASA. 

There are so many fun moments as both families adjust to different cultures and lifestyles and languages. Both families took big chances and will grow, and change, and take a few more big risks in their "new" hometowns. Greta's mother and sister and Lucy's parents are terrific supporting characters.
