I really liked this book! Funny in places with a good message about being yourself and being proud of the fact!

I loved this book. Rebecca seems like me in so many ways. Kind of a pushover and wanting to escape her everyday life once in a while. It was fun reading as she went along pretending to be her boss. This book was full of fun and laughs and I definitely recommend. Thanks NetGalley.

I really enjoyed this book. It follows Rebecca as she accidentally pretends to be her boss Vanessa. She unexpectedly meets people she has a connection with after being in charge of a renovation out in the country for her boss. As expected, Rebecca faces some troubles due to everyone thinking she is actually her bossy employer Vanessa.

I liked all of the characters but I do feel the story was fairly predictable, but it was a nice easy read, and I would recommend it!

This was such a fun book! I mean, yes, OK, the initial "oops" was a little ridiculous, but sometimes when reading a book you just need to let things go. Rebecca's relatable in that she's just trying to get through life the best she can and improve her situation, even though her means is a little unorthodox.

Overall, it's a light-hearted, easy read, which is exactly what I needed. Loved this book!

Rebecca Riley, PA and general dogsbody, a case of mistaken identity and a chance to see if that grass really is greener. A fun and enjoyable romcom/chiclit with heart and an engaging, entertaining read. The premise scenario is rather a predictable one but, nonetheless, it's all good fun and some guaranteed escapism thrown in.

I struggled getting through the first bit; I thought it a bit slow. But once we got into the action, it was a lot of fun with charming characters and a fun story.

An enjoyable quick read but perhaps a tad predictable?

Having said that The Accidental Life Swap was an ok read.

3.5 stars

When I requested this novel I was into the ideal of reading this novel but shorty after I have lost interest in the concept. I believe that it would benefit your book more if I did not skim your book and write a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for taking the time to provide me an ARC of this novel.

*******************************

What do you do when you are mistaken for your powerhouse, demanding boss? Why, you go along with it right!?

The Accidental Life Swap see's Rebecca channel her inner Vanessa when she is mistaken for her boss during a property renovation.

I can completely understand Rebecca's reasoning for going along with the mistaken identity - when you're a bit of a doormat and let the whole world walk all over you, it can seem thrilling and brave to step into someone else's shoes and become an improved version of yourself. But we know these things never really work out, and so Rebecca is faced with trying to keep up the facade both in her work and romantic life.

The Accidental Life Swap is a really interesting story, a little predictable in places but nevertheless enjoyable and perfect for a cosy night in!

I enjoyed this book a lot, very diverting while enduring hurricane and 6 day power outage.

I am unable to post a review on Amazon.com; the book does not show up except as pre-ordering the audiobook coming out in december. I am in Canada but use US kindle. If the problem is on your end (forbidding international buyers or something) perhaps this is important to you. I will check later to see if I can then find the book on kindle..

Thanks to HQ Digital for the ARC!

This was such a fun book to read!! It's kinda like "The Devil Wears Prada" meets "The Holiday", you know? The first half of it was a bit slow for me, but then I finished the other half in just one night. I just couldn't stop it.

I had a love/hate relationship with basically every character in this book, LOL.

I wish I could tell them, "No, don't do that! Noooo. Stop lying. Noooo. Don't go on that date. Stop lying. Nooooooooooooo. Fuck, the land! Oh, no. You're blaming the wrong person. Don't trust her. Noooooooo!!!!!!!"

But I also wanted to tell them good things, which I can't mention here 'cause I don't wanna give any big spoilers. And those good things are the reason why I'm giving it 4 stars. :)

If you're after a sweet, slow burn romance then this book is for you. This was a quick read, that I found really engaging and enjoyable.
I really liked Rebecca as a character and enjoyed watching her grow in confidence as she pretended to be Vanessa. As sweet as the romance between Oliver and Rebecca was this book was mostly about Rebecca changing into a assertive, confident badass. The supportive characters were awesome and Little Heaton is somewhere I would love to visit!
Watching Oliver and Rebecca battle continuously over board games was really entertaining and reminded me of my childhood.
This book was extremely predictable however it was interesting and engaging enough to be a page turner.

Fun, clean Brit chick lit. Writing was nicely done and glad I had a chance to read this from NetGalley. Yes, tropes and stereotypes have been done in various story lines -- city girl try-hard wants to rise up as an creative manager from her lowly PA post (shades of Working Girl), but diva tyrant of a boss is a moody b*tch (Devil Wears Prada), so city girl tries to prove she has the chops... with mistaken identity (pick a Shakespearean identity-switching comedy), ill-equipped to move to the country (Baby Boom), and falls in love with the locals and her self. Mash up these familiars with Shopaholic flair and its an entertaining read.

A very quick and fun read. It’s a romantic comedy with a bit of sarcasm overall.
I enjoyed it as a fun summer read but unfortunately for me it’s not something to be remembered.
There are a lot of lies that makes you wonder why the characters are really using them. It’s understandable for a while but to keep going with them it’s a bit too much and it made me not liking them.
I’ll be reading more by author for sure , it’s just maybe that this book wasn’t for me now

This book was a hilarious British romantic comedy that felt a lot like a Sophie Kinsella novel. The characters were charming and engaging; while the plot was predictable I wanted to see what happened and how. Most romantic comedies are set in the summer or at Christmas, so this was a nice transitional book set in fall- perfect for the first weekend of autumn. There was some language and light sexual content to be aware of before reading if that's not your preference.

Rebecca Riley is a PA at a popular events management company. However, she's never wanted to be a PA, instead she can see herself organizing events - she's a hard worker, has a right degree, is a team player and thinks that it really is the highest time for her to be promoted to be Events Manager. But when she finally finds the courage to ask her evil, demanding and overly tanned boss Vanessa for a promotion, it turns out that she has other plans for Rebecca, namely she needs somebody to oversee the renovation of her beautiful property in the countryside, hinting that when Rebecca will give a good account of herself, she may get her desired promotion.
But life has its own ideas. Already on the first day the whole village of Little Heaton mistakes Rebecca for Vanessa. She decides to go along with the charade because she's sure that the works won't be done with her - Rebecca - at the helm. Channelling her inner Vanessa, Rebecca starts to make sure the renovations get done in time. But can she do it without being found out? Can't she do it as Rebecca?

So, this with the whole charade was a bit unbelievable, right? I wanted to shake my head and yell at Rebecca for not giving it up sooner but on the other hand I also completely got it and her choices. She was a bit of a pushover, honestly, wasn't able to stand for herself, believing she's smart and brave enough but in the last second loosing all her courage and yes, I usually can't stand such characters, but this time the author has struck the right balance and made her really likeable. She was meek and indulgent but within the scope, still believable and sympathetic.
She belongs to my favourite characters category, characters that progress throughout the story. She began as a person who does so much for other people, is a bit of a doormat actually, not being able to say boo to a goose let's not mention to her boss, and receives no acknowledgment, no thank you and guys, yes, it annoyed me on her behalf. I liked the way she was changing, growing in confidence, finding her own voice, reinventing herself.

The romance aspect, the way is develops between the characters, is funny and different, as it blossoms over the love of board games, and I really liked the moments when they were playing them. The attraction between them is palpable and even though you could bet anything on what's going to happen and how, I still enjoyed it.

I loved the setting of this novel, the picturesque countryside and the descriptions of Vanessa's home made me want to move or at least to re - decorate my own house. The animal sanctuary was for me a real highlight, with all the animals wandering around and bad - tempered chickens.

The end was for me too rushed and too neat, even though I had a feeling that some of the things weren't wrapped up completely while the other happened so conveniently and some person experienced a whole change of heart. Yes, it is a bit clichéd, it demands a lot of disbelief, it is predictable but you don't choose such book for its unpredictability. No, you choose it for a feel - good factor and a few relaxing hours, and this is what I was looking for. I laughed, I cringed and I fell for the characters.

I liked the fact that the story was more than a bit of fluff and mishaps and embarrassing shenanigans - there were moments with much more depth to it than I have expected, touching upon some more serious issues, such as self - confidence, friendship and betrayal, standing up for yourself, giving the book so much needed substance. The writing style is warm and welcoming, chatty and the banter between the characters flows easily and naturally. It was a funny, light - hearted romantic comedy and if you're looking for an easy, not too demanding read, then grab this book.

If you are looking for a sweet and lovely read, this is your book, The Accidental Life Swap has everything you need to put a smile on your face! face! Rebecca Riley wants that her boss, Vanessa, starts hearing to her ideas; so when Vanessa asks her to look for her renovation she can not say no, maybe this will be the chance to achieve her desired position! Of course there will be some animals involved in this amazing adventure and a handsome man, of course.
Rebecca thinks that she is not brave or tough, but this will be her chance to discover the real Rebecca and what is what she really wants. Rebecca is a character that any reader will want to be friends, she tries to be strong and tough like her boss, but she is a good person and wants to help everyone. She will have a difficult job in her hands, is not easy to make a house renovation and with just 3 weeks! There will be a lot of stones in her path but with perseverance, hard work and some help she will have a life swap, but not the one she is expecting, much, much better.
I really enjoyed this read, fun, happy and with some lovely characters. Sometimes the story was a little bit predictive, but this didn’t change the sweet story or the cute characters, this is a happy reading, perfect for a grey day or in need of a happy ending.
The Accidental Life Swap is the only read you need to have a smile on your face! Ready?

I struggled getting through the first bit; I thought it a bit slow. But once we got into the action, it was a lot of fun with charming characters and a fun story.

First of all I need to say that 3 ⭐️s isn’t a negative review from me.
I enjoyed this book, I thought it was an easy read, great for holidays or a palate cleanser.

I just thought there were a few frustrating or cliched moments that stoped this becoming a favourite or the type of book I harp on about for weeks on end.

This is set in Manchester and Cheshire which I love because it’s close to home, I love the references to places I love near and found that very satisfying 😊

I loved the overall plot idea, and thought that the scene setting and characters development was great.

I did find Rebecca’s tendency to be a door mat quite frustrating, but understand that was her character, and I’m glad she got over it and moved on.

I loved the secondary characters and thought they added a lot to the story too!

This is a book about finding yourself, albeit through a misunderstanding and pretence, and finding out what you want to do in life and going for it.

One thing I found problematic was when our protagonist went to take a photo of a labourer’s bum to send to a mate whilst his back was turned when she’d never met him before. I found that a bit unnecessary and made me dislike her a bit.
If a guy did it then he’d be a sleaze ball 🤷🏼‍♀️ But I do cling on to little things like that in books that annoy me 🙈😂 If you’re looking for a quick, easy read about someone who gets themselves into a bit of a pickle and finds out about themselves a bit in the process then this is for you!
Lighthearted and funny with some great northern locations 😉
