Oh my gosh this book was sooooo funny! I couldn’t stop laughing! The way they just...swap lives! And it’s so accidental! I can’t even with this book!!

The premise is very simple and the story line is quite predictable. I had to skip a few paragraphs, just so that I could finish the book.

I received The Accidental Life Swap by Jennifer Joyce as an ARC from Netgalley.  The Accidental Life Swap is a rom com.  Rebecca is working as a PA for Vanessa at an event planning firm.  Rebecca desperately wants Vanessa to see that she has what it takes for a promotion.  So when Vanessa asks Rebecca to oversee the final renovations on a home she purchased in the country Rebecca agrees.  When Rebecca arrives, the workers mistake her for Vanessa and rather than correct them, Rebecca, pretends to be her.   Of course, Rebecca wasn't expecting to fall for one of the guys who thinks that she is Vanessa.  I enjoyed the book and found the story interesting in a typical rom com fashion.

I was unable to read and review the book by the publishing date due to other commitments.  I will update the review immediately upon completion of the book.  Thank you NetGalley and publisher.

This one did not work for me. The writing felt extremely flat and the sentences didn’t flow well together, making it difficult to take the story seriously. The plot moves were too convenient and felt so contrived...I’m thankful to the publisher for sending me an early copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. Disappointed this didn’t work for me!

Thanks Netgalley and the publishers for this Arc, This was a fun entertaining RomCom that I just loved and it was a quick read for me I loved the characters and I actually laughed out loud a lot and it was a fun adventure and very cute!

This is a "mistaken identity" rom-com that's well written and a lot of fun.  Rebecca is overseeing the renovation of her boss Vanessa's house, and the workers naturally assume that Rebecca IS Vanessa.  She takes that and runs with it, with some predictable but funny results.

Recommend.

Thanks to HQ Digital and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! If you like books by Sophie Kinsella or Sally Thorne, you'd love this. I found myself chuckling in places and felt the characters were really well developed!

I really enjoyed this book! It was funny, heartwarming and very entertaining! It reminded me of the style of author Sophie Kinsella, so if you are a fan of yer, you’ll love this book! I highly recommend it!

What a delightful, light-hearted romantic comedy this book is!  The plot is near perfect for the classic romantic comedy genre and the many appeals that has to offer.  The attraction and romance is very slow-burn approach and worth the wait!

Great romantic comedy read.   I absolutely love books is this genre so it is not a surprise that I really liked this one.   I will for sure be watching for more books from this author.   This was a quick and fun read.

I enjoyed this book. It was a fun concept and I felt a strong attachment to Rebecca almost straight away. 

It was pretty predictable for the most part, except for a little twist I won’t give away. 

It was light hearted and the writing style was really free flowing and easy to read. 

I am happy for the ending and I would love a sequel!!

I've given this book three stars but that doesn't mean it was a bad read. I just felt it was a little too predictable and perhaps has been done a little too much - I am all for a cliche but this book felt riddled with them. It was perfectly witty, a very light read and something that would be great while on holiday.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first book I’ve read by Jennifer Joyce and it certainly won’t be my last. Such a lovely story that had me gripped from the start, with a few twists and turns along the way. 

The book begins with our heroine Rebecca who is trying to step out of a PA role and into events management (something she is qualified to do). Although her boss Vanessa has other ideas and Rebecca is instead sent to project manage a house renovation. 

As the title suggests, Rebecca inadvertently takes on the persona of Vanessa after being wrongly identified. Trying to earn her place within the company, Rebecca does everything within her power to get the house finished on time. While maintaining the lie, Rebecca is caught up in deceit and dishonesty which is made even more difficult when she makes real friends and falls for local hottie Oliver. 

I really enjoyed this book as it really highlighted how being yourself is always the best choice. A great story of self discovery, friendship and romance. 4/5

Such an adorable rom-com! Loved this one!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Rebecca Riley is a personal assistant to Vanessa who owns an event planning business. Although Rebecca has a degree in events planning she is seen more of a dogs body sent to get the coffees and file paperwork.

On the morning Rebecca was about to give Vanessa a folder full of her ideas for an upcoming event, Vanessa has something she needs her to do. She is currently having a weekend home renovated out in the countryside and needs someone onsite project managing and to make sure that the work doesn’t overrun as she has already sent out house warming invitations.

Rebecca knows nothing about project managing but likes to keep Vanessa sweet so she goes. On arrival, the builders mistake her for Vanessa and Rebecca sees it as a chance to be someone different, some ballsy and confident. How long can she get away with people believing she is Vanessa and what will happen to her if the truth comes out?

I just adored The Accidental Life Swap. I found a connection to it straight away as Rebecca lives and works in Manchester (my home town) and there were references to the local area. Rebecca is a lovely young woman who wants to be an events planner but has to settle for being a PA instead. She watches as other people plan events and she knows that she can do them so much better but is afraid to put herself out there.

Once she arrives at Vanessa’s weekend home we see a different side to her, a more confident side. However, Vanessa has been horrible to these builders via email so not only does she have to pretend to be Vanessa she also has to try and make the builders like her.

I haven’t laughed so much at a book for a long time. Jennifer Joyce’s writing is superb. It flows along nicely and has you eager for more. I didn’t want it to end and I would love to see Rebecca again in another book as she is so amazing. The book also features an animal sanctuary and plenty of animals including a donkey who prefers the grass from Vanessa’s lawn rather than her own.

This was my first book by this author, and I can positively say that I really enjoyed reading this one. Its captivating. For sure I will be checking other books written by this author.

This is the best Rom-Com I've read in awhile And on that note, I'd love to say, Thank you Jennifer Joyce for restoring my faith in romantic comedy!! 

I haven't been so interested in Rom-Com in awhile and I totally enjoyed it.

The Accidental Life Swap sounds perfect for the genre with cute cover and equally easy to digest blurb. I didn't expect much when I first started to read it and 4 chapters later I was hooked!

TALS had its hiccup in the middle but then it eventually  picked the pace again until the end. I like the resolution and I like how it ends.
I will post a proper review on my blog soon.

I probably didn't fancy  how Joyce pitted one woman to another. and that is the only reason I will be giving a solid 4 stars.

Well written and an altogether enjoyable read. This work caught my attention at the beginning and held it throughout the novel. Loved it! Thanks to netgalley, the author and the publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my humble opinions. I would definately but more works from this author.

Great book. Funny, heart warming and all round good read with a very satisfying ending. Characters are likeable and believable. Keep an eye out for Chow Mein and Franny! A great big cosy hug in a book, light and easy to read. Perfect for an Autumn afternoon. 

Thank you Netgalley.
