From the author of Maybe Next Time comes a funny and emotional read about a couple struggling in their relationship who accidentally swap bodies on their way to a family wedding weekend.
Amy and Flynn have been dating for two years. And they love each other. Don’t they?
Only Amy can’t read Flynn’s mind and Flynn can’t read Amy’s. Little do they know this weekend is make or break.
Amy’s nervous older sister is getting married at the world’s swankiest wedding venue in rural Devon and is relying on her younger sister to be the perfect Chief Bridesmaid. Frustrations on the way to the wedding escalate until both Amy and Flynn are shouting at each other in a country lane during a thunderstorm. Why can’t they see things from the other’s point of view? When lightning strikes, Flynn and Amy are thrown to the ground, and when they stand back up they realize—they’ve switched bodies.
Forced to attend the glamorous wedding weekend as each other is surely an impossible task. With spa mornings, exes, flash mob rehearsals, speeches and more, getting through this swap will test their relationship to breaking point. And when they each discover big secrets in the other’s past—it seems that switching bodies could be the least of their problems. Even if they do manage to swap back—can their relationship survive?
The pressure is on leading up to a family wedding weekend, but Amy and Flynn are about to get the shock of their lives.
Frustrated with each other, they find themselves outside in the rain, yelling at each other, only to be struck by lightning. The result is a body swap that just might spell the end of their relationship. For readers who have ever complained about a significant other, author Cesca Major serves up a romantic comedy that uses humor to illustrate an important point.
If I Were You walks the two main characters through the most hilarious of scenarios, from spa day to flash mob practice and even a tennis match. Being thrown into each other’s bodies proves to be challenging, especially in interactions with family and friends.
Aside from the basic adjustments of being stuck in a body of the opposite sex, there are also uncomfortable conversations. With Amy’s sister getting married, it falls on Amy to provide support…but her sisterly advice seems a bit off.
It will be a weekend to remember, but will Amy and Flynn survive the swap, or will it drive them apart? You won’t want to miss this fast-paced story full of laughter.
If I Were You features a couple whose relationship gets put to the ultimate test when an accidental body swap reveals past secrets.
