150 posts | 98 read | 34 to read
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. 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?

This was a very cute holiday book. It plays out like a Hallmark movie but still a good read.

Lucky my daughter had to go to the post office to pick up a delivery for her coz my first #JolabokaflodSwap parcel was sitting there with the wrong address on it! The AusPost staff recognized my name luckily and gave it to her🙌Thank you to my gifter, I think I know who it is but I‘m not positive yet.

Lizpixie @MaleficentBookDragon I‘m still waiting on #JolabokaflodSwap package No2, if you‘re asking for updates. 3mo
Teresereading Hi what was the problem with the address? 3mo
Lizpixie @Teresereading hey lovely! Nothing major, just you put Crescent instead of Circuit. There‘s a street in the same suburb with a similar spelling but it‘s a crescent so I thought that was the issue. Can‘t wait to open it tonight! Merry Xmas!🎄 3mo

This looks fun!
1. I‘d say it‘s a tie between dinner and brunch. I love the creativity of brunch (and mimosas) but I also love a great dinner!
2. The Holiday Swap (tagged) was a baking foodie‘s dream and I loved the dual POVs of hosting a baking show and running a small town bakery. And a book I recently read, River Woman, River Demon was filled with authentic, delicious Latin dishes. 😋

I ended up enjoying this book more than I thought I would. I feel like I'm running out of holiday read options that aren't just straight up rom-coms so that was why I was a little leery of reading this. But I think the sister swap plot was interesting enough to keep me engaged and not feeling like it was too much of a romance (or double romance). Still pretty Hallmark-y but put me in the Christmas spirit so I'll consider it a win.⁣

Another not excited Christmas romance🤷🏽‍♀️The situation of this swap was so unreal and the story was pretty boring for me. Am I a family member of the Grinch😳🤔💚Maybe my heart is not beating enough🤣🤣🤣

I would say that the title is exactly right, it‘s a Holiday swap rather than a Christmas swap. The story takes place in the week leading up to Christmas, but there‘s really not a lot of holiday vibe in the book. Still, it was a fun read and I really enjoyed the twins and their adventures.

I loved this book. It was exactly what I needed to get me in the Christmas spirit. It was cute and fun and not too heavy. The characters were so entertaining and the story was really interesting. I couldn‘t put it down. I loved that it had romance and still showed two very strong and independent women who find themselves in a sweet tale about baking and family and love. I also would like a recipe book with all the treats they make!

Delightful! The perfect Hallmark movie plot with a fantastic premise and charming characters. Predictable? Maybe, but in the same way as ordering a favorite meals at your favorite restaurant and having it exceed your expectations in every way. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

A Christmas story in May? Why not? This was both predictable and sweet, and double the mayhem, mischief, and magnificence with the talented twins Charlie and Cass Goodwin. It's not often you find a novel with two protagonists that you can root for in equal measure. In this Food Network meets Hallmark movie story we are reminded of the importance of spending time with the people we love.

Twins decide to swap lives when one recieves a head injury that ruins her sense of taste and because she's a chef on a baking competition tv show she swaps lives with her sister that runs the family bakery, what ensues is a lot of confusion for themselves, friends, romantic interests ....and the reader

Bookishgal71 I just finished this, too! 2y
IBooktrovert @Bookishgal71 How did you like it? 2y
Bookishgal71 @LiteraryLyn It‘s definitely formulaic, but I feel like it‘s the right tone for a holiday read. Lighthearted, romantic and shallow. 2y

GondorGirl This was a really cute book. It's not exactly a Christmas book (though it takes place during that season), so I don't think you'd need to wait until next December. 😁 2y

I‘m a sucker for any story about twins, and I would best describe this as reminiscent of a Hallmark Christmas movie, but not nearly as cheesy. It‘s perfect escapism for Christmastime. I liked it so much I passed it along to my mom. 4⭐️

The Holiday Swap was interesting enough, but more interesting at the start, as it was unevenly paced in the last 2/3 of the book. The novel would have benefited from some more time with a good editor. A decent light holiday read, but it is not likely to ever be a reread, at least by me. #BOTM

I pulled this from my Dec stack to enjoy as my final holiday read as I pack up my decor for another year. My audio hold came through, as well, so i could work and sit without missing a beat on the story. I can‘t resist an identical twin holiday swap story! It was Hallmarky and since Candence Cameron Bure has the identical twin movie there, I had her in my head the whole time.

Forgot to post this review earlier in the month. 'Twas excellent. Charming and cozy. If you're a fan of The Princess Switch movies, this was made for you. There may not be royalty, but there is so much baking goodness and twin swapping. My favorite parts were in the small town, very Gilmore Girls-esque. Just a sweet romance.

Also, I love these almond horns so much. 🤤

I loved this twin swapping romance. A bit unbelievable that no one can tell them apart, but all part of the fun. The love interests were swoon-worthy and the women were confident and strong characters. I enjoyed the baking show element and the small hometown setting. This one might become an annual reread...

This was cute, sickly sweet at the end to the point I kinda wanted to gag lol. There is a level of “c‘mon, that would never happen” you have to ignore but it‘s a romcom and I think we‘re mostly pretty good at doing that. I love books w food in them and I was definitely in this one more for the food than the romance.

This is just the light-hearted holiday read that I needed! Identical twins Charlie and Cass both are accomplished bakers- Charlie now as a host in the glamorous setting of an L.A. holiday cooking show competition and Cass running the family bakery a few hours north in Starlight Peak (surely a town that must be just a bit north of Sweet Valley!🤣). An accident leads to them swapping lives in the 12 days before Christmas and fun along the way!

Cute and fun and complicated! I really enjoyed how Cass was able to see how not okay Charlie's life in city is, and how strong Cass was. Sometimes we just need to switch things up (or swap things up) to discover new strengths and loves.
