An excellent read for anyone wanting a page-turning novel with plenty of heart and soul.’ Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Life really can change in a flash…

When Jessica Taylor finds herself in the middle of a thunderstorm whilst walking her dog, she is struck by two things: the sight of a handsome stranger, and a bolt of lightning.

The next thing she knows, she is waking up in a hospital bed – but in someone else’s body…

Split between her old life and that of Lauren Richardson – wife and mother of four young children – Jessica must grapple with temper tantrums and marriage mishaps, whilst desperately trying to get back to Frankie the terrier and a blossoming relationship.

But as she learns more about the woman in whose designer shoes she now stands, she begins to discover new things about herself, too.

Will Jessica get back to life as she knows it? And will she even want to?

Freaky Friday meets Beth O’Leary’s The Switch in this magical story about love, family and new beginnings that fans of Erin Sterling will fall head over heels for.
