Review:

I loved this one! I feel like this may have even been my favorite, Abby Jimenez. You could clearly tell it was her writing with the deeply embedded issues that both the characters had (I'm looking at you, The Friend Zone). But this one had more than that. It felt like a very real love story. It could have been something that happened to someone I know. The rom-com nature of the Story was a little more muted. And don't get me wrong, I love the rom-coms, but sometimes a real story is better than anything else. I am so happy with this book and am now going to go and read The Friend Zone again…

Trigger Warnings:
grief and loss

Synopsis From Book:

Ginny Masters manages a popular boutique hotel in Seattle and manages it with aplomb. But the daily challenges and irritations of a fast-paced job and a demanding boss are starting to get to her. Jacqueline Potter manages her grandfather's fishing lodge in Idaho because it was the only job she could find after graduating with her hospitality degree. She's grateful for the work but longs for a more sophisticated and cosmopolitan life she's just not going to find in this backwoods town. The solution to both their problems seems obvious. Just for the summer, they'll swap jobs and lifestyles. But they never anticipated swapping love interests . . . In this fabulous new twist on an age-old fable, award-winning and bestselling author Melody Carlson introduces you to two career-focused women who are about to discover that there's more to finding happiness than just switching up the scenery.
