The Seven Day Switch
The Seven Day Switch: A Novel | Kelly Harms
8 posts | 12 read | 9 to read
Two moms as opposite as a Happy Meal and a quinoa bowl. What a difference a week makes in a heartfelt, laugh-out-loud novel by the Washington Post bestselling author of The Overdue Life of Amy Byler. Celeste Mason is the Pinterest stay-at-home supermom of other mothers' nightmares. Despite her all-organic, SunButter-loving, free-range kids, her immaculate home, and her volunteering awards, she still has time to relax with a nice glass of pinot at the end of the day. The only thing that ruins it all is her workaholic, career-obsessed neighbor, who makes no secret of what she thinks of Celeste's life choices every chance she gets. Wendy Charles is a celebrated productivity consultant, columnist, and speaker. On a minute-by-minute schedule, she makes the working-mom hustle look easy. She even spends at least one waking hour a day with her kids. She's not apologizing for a thing. Especially to Celeste, who plays her superior parenting against Wendy whenever she can. Who do Celeste and Wendy think they are? They're about to find out thanks to one freaky week. After a neighborhood potluck and too much sangria, they wake up--um, what?--in each other's bodies. Everything Celeste and Wendy thought they knew about the "other kind of mom" is flipped upside down--along with their messy, complicated, maybe not so different lives.

Relatable, fun and endearing. The “switched” plot is familiar but Harms uses it well to spotlight the fears of parents worried they aren‘t enough for their kids. A bit over the top in dramatic details the plot has heart ❤️. Wendy and Celeste are good foils for each other and as anticipated learn to respect and support each other in the difficult work of parenting. Perfect for a few laughs in the summer sun. 4⭐️

A Freaky Friday mom switch…stay at home vs working mom. Lots of lessons learned between the two. Sweet and a little emotional. #bookspin for February

This is a fun read! I was a bit skeptical at first that it would be too fluffy, but it was a great light story that I had a hard time putting down. I had to see how it ended. The story's premise is a stay-at-home mom and a working mom swapping bodies (like the movie Freaky Friday) and finding out what it's like in each other's shoes. It's a good reminder that you never truly know what another woman's life is really like.

This was a Prime First Reads and I'm so happy I picked it. Kelly Harms gives me a little perspective on my "momness" each time I pick up one of her books.

Working Mom VS Stay At Home Mom in this body swapping Freaky Friday remix. We moms are always trying to prove our place in society and our worth to ourselves and those around us. More proof that we need to lean in on each other instead of competing or judging.

I really enjoyed this modern take on Freaky Friday. Two moms, who couldn‘t be more different, find themselves in each other‘s bodies. They must live as the other until they can figure out how to switch back. They hate it, they deal with it, and, of course, they learn a lot about themselves and each other in the process. This books made me giggle and even tear up a bit.

At first I thought this was basically another version of freaky Friday. But really it‘s about marriages, families, moms and that you truly don‘t know how good or bad someone has it until you walk a mile in their shoes… or in this case spend a week in their body. What‘s perfect for one person isn‘t for another. It‘s all about finding what is right for you & your family.
