Synopsis

If you lived in a different place and had a different job, couldn't you have a different life?

Ginny Masters manages a popular boutique hotel in Seattle and manages it with aplomb. But the daily challenges and irritations of a fast-paced job and a demanding boss are starting to get to her.

Jacqueline Potter manages her grandfather’s fishing lodge in Idaho because it was the only job she could find after graduating with her hospitality degree. She’s grateful for the work but longs for a more sophisticated and cosmopolitan life she’s just not going to find in this backwoods town.

The solution to both their problems seems obvious. Just for the summer, they’ll swap jobs and lifestyles—and even love interests. But they’ll soon find that there’s more to finding happiness than just switching up the scenery.

Meanwhile, Jacqueline Potter feels like a fish out of water managing her grandfather’s old fishing lodge in Idaho......more

Goodreads review by Loren on March 06, 2024

While initially entertaining, unfortunately, the characters didn't click with me as a reader. Also, I didn't realize it was a Christian Romance, which isn't my usual category. Ginny was the only character I cared about, and Jackie was horrible with no growth. (view spoiler)[ There was a bit, but only in the last t (hide spoiler)]......more
