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.

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.

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.

A very enjoyable book, kept me gripped throughout.

Fed up PA gets given a new assignment and ends up pretending to be the boss.

She ends up falling in love and then has to come clean.

Will they forgive her and will they stay together.

Definitely recommend

A cute book, but I couldn't help yelling her to come clean about who she was! However, it was still a good snd it kept me intrigued through to the finish.

This book could have been so funny and witty, but in the end I hated all the silly lies, the slow pacing of the story and was bored really fast. Sure I wanted to know what would happen in the end to Rebecca and the hot guy, but I didn't really care because the story didn't grip me that much.

Who are these people? Has the author even met or spoken to a real person?

Paper thin characters that are stereotypes rather than actual humans. I couldn't relate or bond with any of them, especially Rebecca. She was weak willed and made poor choices. I started to think maybe her boss Vanessa wasn't as bad of a person as Rebecca was describing. It's that old adage, "If everyone around you stinks, maybe it's you who stinks."

As most others have said, this book was quite predictable. However, it WAS quick and easy to read and I did enjoy it enough to continue reading it.

What a fun book ! The characters were quirky, and interesting. It was a bit predictable , but still a good read.

This was a fun quick read. It was predictable, but I didn’t mind that. I recommend this book to any who loves women’s fiction.

This lovely, lighthearted romance is pure escapism. There is humour and pathos, exactly what you want from a romantic comedy. I defy even the hardest heart not to soften at the thought of the three abandoned kittens, Timmy, Tommy and Tammy, being hand fed with milk from a syringe.

Thanks to Netgalley for an advanced reader copy of the Accidental Life Swap.

This was a cute quick read, but everything was very predictable.

A case of mistaken identity and new discoveries.

Rebecca works for an events planning firm as a PA and longs to work her way up as an assistant planner to her boss, Vanessa, who is kind of selfish and rude. Vanessa has a house in the country in the middle of renovation and a deadline for a party upon completion. She tasks Rebecca as the project manager, even though Rebecca has no idea about construction.

Rebecca sees this as an opportunity to show Vanessa what she is capable of accomplishing. But upon arriving, she is mistaken for the demanding Vanessa herself. She plays along as she thinks this is the way to get the workers to their deadline. But what happens when she starts to become closer to those she is lying too?

The books premise is not new, but the location and take on it is new. Was a very easy read (I read it in about a day) and is the type of book you just want to use to escape for a few hours. Perfect beach read, plane ride, or lazy sunday.

I received this book for review purposes from NetGalley. ⠀

Thank you Netgalley for sending me this arc. I will be reviewing this book in the near future with an honest rating and review.

I really wanted to like this book the over looked interesting and fun but I couldn't get past a quarter of the book
The story was patchy and for me not enough going on
The main character was pretending to be her hard nosed domineering boss and most of the story for me was spent channelling her inner voice to what would vanessa do
Sorry just not for me

A solid three stars for this romance in a small town. The Accidental Life Swap is a cute story about a Rebecca, a city girl who, through a misunderstanding, assume’s her boss’s name and identity when she is sent to a small town to oversee the construction on her boss’s house. She befriends the locals, develops a crush on one of the builders, and tries her hardest to accomplish her goals without letting in on her secret. What follows is a predictable but enjoyable story that picked up for me about halfway through. A perfect book for the beach or a lazy, rainy day.

A delightful and amusing read which I really enjoyed. I particularly liked the animal characters including the chickens and Franny the donkey.

Well written with lovely cast of characters who are easy to identify with, this is a lovely easy read perfect for a holiday read or cosy sunday afternoon on the sofa.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review

This is a fun little romantic comedy that is an easy read. Vanessa is the owner of her events management company and a take no prisoners boss. Rebecca is her personal assistant and is tasked with being a project manager over a construction project on Vanessa's new country home. Rebecca knows nothing about building anything and when she goes to meet the crew, they mistakenly think she is Vanessa. Rebecca doesn't correct them and goes about acting as she feels Vanessa would. The problem is that the lie starts to weigh her down, especially when she falls for one of the workers. She has to come clean before things spiral out of control.

I thought this was a fast, fun read. The pace was quick and the writing was witty. I really did not like Vanessa, which was probably the point. Rebecca was extremely likeable and I was really pulling for her in the end. I wanted to see everything work out for her. I enjoyed this story and it was a solid 3.5 stars ( rounded up to 4 for the many funny animal incidents ).

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the book to review. This is my honest review.

I generally love a sliding doors, mistaken identity type pf book however this one read a bit flat to me. I was mostly entertained whilst reading it but it felt that something was missing. Perhaps I found the main character difficult to relate to.
