While I thought this book was mediocre, there are a few romance tropes throughout, so if you are not a fan of 'insta-love', or in which characters miraculously get exactly what they need the moment they need it (fired/quit job = dream job opportunity; cheating ex/cancelled wedding/ bad relationship = perfect new relationship; loss of home = new place to live), this one will not be for you.

I enjoyed the descriptions of both story locales, but that's about it. If you want a light frothy book this could fit the bill.

What a wonderful book! I loved reading both best friend's stories at the same time......switching back and forth was effortless. I love a "swap places" story and this one did not disappoint.

Holly and Ivy are besties. This story has a fun premise. Holly’s wedding is cancelled at the last minute so she and Ivy trade their vacations. Ivy meets a cute bartender, Oliver. Holly runs in to Aiden, a high school friend. It’s a dual perspective book, told by each friend as they experience their vacations. It was a very light read, but because it’s a two-for-one story, it was more of a novella for each friend. Maybe because of the shrunken word count per couple, all tension and conflict was also passed over really quickly so the story came off as almost too sweet. But if you’re looking for an easy holiday happily ever after to read between functions, this will fit the bill.
