She'd like a second chance at love, but her tiny Yorkshire village doesn't offer many eligible gentlemen. <p/>So they decide to try a two-month swap. <p/>Eileen will live in London and look for love. She'll take Leena's flat, and learn all about casual dating, swiping right, and city neighbors. Meanwhile Leena will look after everything in rural Yorkshire: Eileen's sweet cottage and garden, her idyllic, quiet village, and her little neighborhood projects. <p/>But stepping into one another's shoes proves more difficult than either of them expected. Will swapping lives help Eileen and Leena find themselves...and maybe even find true love? In Beth O'Leary's <i>The Switch</i>, it's never too late to change everything....or to find yourself.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <p><b>"<i>The Switch</i> brilliantly encompasses all the humor and whimsy</b> of <i>The Flatshare</i> while delving into emotional topics like grief and the importance of watching out for neighbors.
