Resumen del Editor

The International Bestseller—A feel-good, holiday rom com about identical twins who swap lives twelve days before Christmas—perfect for fans of Christina Lauren’s In a Holidaze and Josie Silver’s One Day in December

All they want for Christmas is a different life.

When chef Charlie Goodwin gets hit on the head on the L.A. set of her reality baking show, she loses a lot more than consciousness; she also loses her ability to taste and smell—both critical to her success as show judge. Meanwhile, Charlie's identical twin, Cass, is frantically trying to hold her own life together back in their quaint mountain hometown while running the family's bustling bakery and dealing with her ex, who won't get the memo that they're over.

With only days until Christmas, a desperate Charlie asks Cass to do something they haven't done since they were kids: switch places. Looking for her own escape from reality, Cass agrees. But temporarily trading lives proves more complicated than they imagined, especially when rugged firefighter Jake Greenman and gorgeous physician assistant Miguel Rodriguez are thrown into the mix. Will the twins' identity swap be a recipe for disaster, or does it have all the right ingredients for getting their lives back on track?

Take a step back

Twin sisters Charlie and Cass switch their very different lives for a week. I really struggled getting into this book. The last fourth of it was AMAZING though!

This book is a good reminder that sometimes we need to take a step back from our busy lives, focus on ourselves, and make sure we’re truly doing what we want. Also, I tried adding cinnamon to my coffe grounds before brewing it like Walter does. It was really good and added a “Christmas” taste to it!

Stephanie Cannon did a WONDERFUL job reading this book! She was so engaging and made the story so enjoyable!

Fun holiday story

This is a fun holiday story to get you in the mood for Christmas! I enjoyed the light read.

I was hesitant at first...

but I pushed through and was pleasantly surprised. At first I really didn't like either of the MCs but they do grow on you and I'm happy that they do change and learn and grow through to the end of the story. Pretty much like a hallmark/lifetime Christmas movie.

As for the narration, at normal speed I couldn't stand it, but having it at 1.3x speed worked wonders. Thank goodness for that setting. The voices were all done well though and glad I was able to finish it completely.

Totally a hallmark movie in the making…

this rom com is super sweet and cute. I enjoyed reading this. Perfect read for the holidays.

Snuggle-Worthy Delight

The Holiday Swap was a very cute listen and definitely Hallmark-movie material. The two swoon-worthy love stories, big city vs small town fun, and holiday baked treats made the perfect recipe for a delightful rom-com. I found the twin switch-a-roo hilarious and it was heartwarming to see Cass and Charlie stand up for one another while pretending to be each other. Though the only reason this gets a 4/5 from me is because of the amount of times Cass or Charlie would forget who they were pretending to be a little too often (also Charlie not taking her concussion seriously lol). Stephanie Cannon also did a great job narrating and finding each character’s voice. All in all, this book was just every bit warm and cozy, I can’t wait to snuggle up to more Maggie Knox stories to come.

Cute Christmas Romance

A little predictable, but still a cute read from the very start. A great book!

Lovely romantic holiday story!

A nice reprieve from the stressors of the season! It’s predictable but lovely all the same!

Sweet Christmas Story

Loved this book. Included all the essential elements for a fun, cozy, Christmas rom/com. Enjoyed the switch and how the twins took on each others lives - reminded me of the parent trap a little bit. The narration seemed a little over done at times but not bad overall. Recommend if you’re looking for a fun holiday romance.

Cute and Heartfelt Holiday story

If you like lifetime and Hallmark holiday movies, this book is for you. The meet cute was cliche, but it still gave me that heartfelt feeling when two people discover each other. As for the narration, spot on for finding each character’s voice. I enjoyed this audiobook very much.

Very cute holiday read

If you’re looking for a sweet, cutesy read for the holiday season this is a really good choice!
