Review: The Holiday Swap!

Review: The Holiday Swap by Maggie Knox

A feel-good, holiday-themed romantic comedy about identical twins who switch lives in the days leading up to 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's 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?

Plot: The plot reminded me so much of a Hallmark Channel movie, which is a big compliment because I love Hallmark! I loved reading about both of the twins journeys, and them finding out where (and with whom) they belong.

Characters: I loved all the characters! Both of the twins were fantastic leads, but I will say that I enjoyed reading about Cass and Miguel a little more than Charlie and Jake, but both were fun and I enjoyed their romances! I also liked all the side characters, from family to friends.

The Cover: It's really cute! I love the colors on it!

Overall: This was a fantastic Christmas book that I loved reading, and will be recommending to everyone who enjoys a sweet holiday read! Overall, I highly recommend reading it!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher.
