“He kisses me like we’ve been kept apart by lifetimes and catastrophes and circumstances beyond our control and finally, finally we can see each other again.”
Freaky Friday meets gay Hallmark in this lighthearted Christmas romcom where mild intolerance turns into reluctant affection.
Josh and Gabriel have been competing against one another over everything since their early teens and it’s come to a head when they’re both picked to intern at a law firm. Josh is used to being handed things on a silver platter due to his family name, but Gabriel has to fight tooth and nail for even the chance to receive the same opportunities.
They’re paired up to decorate for the office Christmas party when something insane happens and they switch bodies. Now Gabriel has to go to his family’s house for Christmas in Josh’s body. He gets Josh to agree to come along and pretend to be him, and so ensues a fake dating plot with sides of forced proximity and one bed tropes.
I absolutely devoured this book. It was such a light and fun read, with the banter we all know and love from Briar Prescott, but also lots of cute moments and shifting feelings. A nice little slowburn, so that when they finally get together, it feels 100% inevitable and unavoidable.
The Christmas Switch is the perfect short novel to get you in the mood for the holidays. Prepare for laughs, contented sighing, and quite a few jaw-dropping moments.
*I received a free advanced copy of this book from the author and this is my voluntary, honest review.
