About this listen
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?

Love conquers all ❤️
Such a wonderful story and such loveable characters. The voice artist gave these characters life and that made all the difference. I loved each scene and found myself wraped up in all of the highs and lows, cheering and crying with evryone in the scenes.
I would definitely recommend this book cause it's such a lovely concept and Beth has done such a lovely job it's a wonderful weekend read.

Flatshare was more entertaining
Somehow, the story of Grandmother was more entertaining than that of the girl. The ending was expected, but that was extra chapter was unnecessary.
