The Do-Over by Phoebe MacLeod
3.0
Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The Do-Over is a light, fun read about a woman who becomes disillusioned with her high-powered, all-encompassing career as a lawyer. She chucks it all in and embarks on a scheme to flip houses with her next-door neighbor/enemy turned best friend.
This is one of those books where it's best to just enjoy the ride and not think too deeply about the logistics. Everything will magically work out and everyone will live happily ever after and no one will face any real struggles or conflicts. Reality, it's not. But it is fun and fluffy and a nice escape from the real world!
One note - the book is billed as romantic comedy and... it's not. There is a romance, kind of shoe-horned in, but the vast majority of the book is about figuring out what matters and building a life you enjoy, not just one you succeed at on paper.
