Tess Simpson is in desperate need of a break! She feels unappreciated at home, at work, and even by her dog, who has passed away. She's had enough and is contemplating a much-needed escape from her hopeless husband, Dave, the ungrateful 'kidults, and the lackluster job.
River Romero, on the other hand, is facing a different kind of crisis. She has achieved success in the past as a screenwriter, but the industry is tough, and her next script has to be a hit or her dream career will be over.
The two women decide to swap lives for a summer, each hoping that the change will bring them the happiness they've been longing for. Tess is excited about the prospect of living in Los Angeles, with its pool, Hollywood glitz, and exciting lifestyle. River, on the other hand, is drawn to the peaceful English countryside, with its wisteria-covered front door and tranquil bedroom.
However, as they settle into their new lives, they quickly realize that real life isn't as easy as the movies. Tess struggles to fit in with River's friends and family, while River finds herself missing the hustle and bustle of L.A. They both start to wonder if getting away from it all was such a good idea after all.
As the summer draws to a close, the women must face the reality of their situations and decide whether to return to their old lives or make a permanent change. They learn that sometimes, the things we want the most are the ones we've been avoiding all along.
"The Swap" is a laugh-out-loud, emotional read that will appeal to fans of Fiona Gibson, Tracy Bloom, and Sophie Ranald. It's a story about finding happiness in unexpected places, and about the power of taking a chance and stepping outside of our comfort zones.
