Description
Eileen is sick of being 79.
Leena's tired of life in her 20s.
Maybe it's time they swapped places....
When overachiever Leena Cotton is ordered to take a two-month sabbatical after blowing a big presentation at work, she escapes to her grandmother Eileen's house for some overdue rest. Eileen is newly single and about to turn 80. She'd like a second chance at love, but her tiny Yorkshire village doesn't offer many eligible gentlemen.
Once Leena learns of Eileen's romantic predicament, she proposes a solution: a two-month swap. Eileen can live in London and look for love. Meanwhile Leena will look after everything in rural Yorkshire. But with gossiping neighbours and difficult family dynamics to navigate up north, and trendy London flatmates and online dating to contend with in the city, stepping into one another's shoes proves more difficult than either of them expected.
Leena learns that a long-distance relationship isn't as romantic as she hoped it would be and then there is the annoyingly perfect - and distractingly handsome - school teacher, who keeps showing up to outdo her efforts to impress the local villagers. Back in London, Eileen is a huge hit with her new neighbours, but is her perfect match nearer home than she first thought?

Gorgeous
Funny and heartbreaking, for me the book is about strength. Narration is genious. I have become a Beth O'leary's fan😊

Beautiful story and very touching characters
I recently discovered Beth O'leary and boy do I love her! Her books are funny, refreshing, and yet still full of lessons or little important stuff to remember. I love the humor of her characters, the strength and the beautiful simplicity yet complexity of all of them. Each is more than what they may seem at first and each bring something to the story.

👍 À conseiller à votre entourage féminin
L'audio de ce livre est extrêmement bien fait. Les deux narratices incarnent parfaitement les protagonistes de l'histoire. On se laisse bercer par cette histoire drôle et émouvante. De très belles heures d'écoute...

uplifting
This is a positive uplifting story! A bit silly, but in a good way. Witty language that made me laugh out loud on the street. So what if it's a little predictable. A feel-good book for the young and old. It's not a frivolous hahaha book in any way though, it made me think about and re-evaluate my own priorities.

Narrator
Book was fun to hear but I was hearing the narrator’s mouth clicks all through! I had to stop listening several times so I cohld focus on something else.
The books itself is really nice and fun to hear. Light, yet has a message behind it.

Brilliant!
Narrators were perfect. Story was so well written. Characters were believable and relatable. I had genuine moments of joy and fun, with a few laugh out loud moments too. I thoroughly recommend this story. It’s an A+!
(And if you haven’t heard The Flatshare by the same author, download it now!

easy and funny love story
Really nice book, sometimes funny, I love how it shows the world from young end old perspective, the love story in the book is expected from the beginning so there is not much anticipation, but still a great listen :)

Horrendous!!
If I could ask for my money back, I would. The characters and storyline were atrocious. Couldn’t finish it. It grated on my every nerve

Lovely story, one terrible speaker
The person reading the older persons also made me cringe (as someone else pointed out before me). Loved the other one, though, so I managed to finish listening to the book. No huge surprises in the plot, but sometimes that is exactly what you need.

A bit disappointing
I found the book too emotional and a little "mushy" with a predictable ending. No surprises at all. There were so many characters; it was difficult to remember who they all were. I struggled to finish it and was disappointed as I had so enjoyed "The Flatshare". On the positive side, the author was trying to deliver some important messages (e.g. coping with loss). I'll try the next book though (fingers crossed).

Authentische Selbstfindung von Granny und Enkelin
Mir hat dir Geschichte, obgleich sie etwas vorhersehbar ist, gut gefallen. Der Kontrast zwischen Big-City-London und ländlichem Leeds und den jeweils typischen nachbarschaftlichen Eigentümlichkeiten wird von den beiden Protagonistinnen unterhaltsam gechannelt. Ich mochte die ältere Sprecherin (Eileen) sehr, die natürlich ihrem Alter entsprechend (Nebengeräusche eingeschlossen) spricht und mich an eine bürgerliche Dowager Duchess of Grantham erinnerte. Liebenswürdige Charaktere und abwechslungsreicher Wechsel der Szenerie mit alterssensiblen Inhalte (Einsamkeit, Dating mit 70+ und Familiendynamik) machen das HB zu einem kurzweiligen und relevanten Erlebnis.

Second book I absolutely loved
Love the books from Beth O‘Leary so far. And that the main character have different voices each time makes it so much more authentic. The story is always relatable and even for a foreigner like me easy to understand and follow

😡 Hintergrundgeräusche 🤬
Ich dachte erst, die Sprecherin von Eileen würde - für Authentizität? - mit dem Gebiss klappern oder sonstwie damit spielen. Es war so enervierend,daß ich zeitweise überlegt habe, ob ich mir das wirklich antun kann, ständig eine Art blubberndes, klapperndes Nebengeräusch zu haben. Ziemlich am Ende war das Geräusch auch bei Leena zu hören - und ganz am Schluss ist es in "Musik" übergegangen. GANZ GROSSER MIST!
Die Geschichte selbst klang lustig, war es dann aber nur teilweise - aber sie ist gut.
Empfehlenswert nur, wenn man Störungen ausblenden kann (ich beneide meinen Mann darum!)

Predictable but very touching and beautifully Witten
I really do not share some listeners’ opinion that one of the readers (Eileen‘s voice) cannot be borne. On the contrary, she sounds so authentic and extraordinary in her way of presenting Eileen‘s perspective that I preferred her to Leena‘s presentation (, even though there was really absolutely nothing wrong with that one either).
The story - here I agree with many others - is quite predictable. Still, many parts are cleverly depicted and the idea of the switch is original enough. After all, it is a romantic comedy;)
I love O‘Leary‘s way of creating atmosphere, her very lovable characters and the little thoughts of wisdom that make her novels so recommendable. She deserves to be mentioned when I am asked about my favourite authors. I think, after ‚the flatshare’ this is my second favourite O‘Leary-book. The depiction of grief is very relatable and an important part of the story without making it too sad. That makes it even more amazing. I loved this audio book!
