This is such an endearing, cute and yet hilarious story.

Meet Leena Cotton, ever the problem solver, hard-worker and fix-it-all. Except the cancer that took her fierce little sister a little over a year ago. That she couldn’t fix. Her way to cope? Work, work and then work some more. The result? A two-month paid leave after blowing a big presentation and almost losing a client.

Now meet Eileen Cotton, Leena’s grandmother. At her 79 years old she’s ready to give love another chance after her husband left her for their dance class instructor four months ago.

They both need a change in their lives, so they decide to swap houses for two months. Leena will stay in Hamleigh-in-Harksdale, a little town in Yorkshire, and Eileen will move into Leena’s flat in London and dive into the world of online dating.

Had I physically read this, I may not have liked it as much. Not only because it is a slow, unhurried story but because the narration was utterly flawless, especially Eileen’s. She was my favorite in every possible way. She’s a sassy old woman who lists the pros and cons of every eligible men, is on neighborhood watch and leaves Leena labeled diagrams of the TV remote. She knows that “you can get away with an awful lot when you’re an old lady” and plays that card to her advantage whenever she can, to my utter delight. Of course, Leena’s flatmates fall in love with her and she manages to get acquainted with everyone in the building. And her friendship with Fitz, one of Leena’s flatmates, is priceless.

Overall, it's a fun, fluffy contemporary but it’s 100% character driven, so the audiobook is definitely the way to go.

A big thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing this audiobook in exchange of an honest and voluntary review.
