A Christmas house swap results in broadened horizons for two very different women. Ramona is an accountant in Chicago who has worked hard for a condo with a lake view and a healthy savings account but finds herself unable to face reality after her fiancé breaks up with her. To avoid telling her family, she lets her best friend book her a house swap in Malibu for the holidays. Chelsea, an artist with dwindling prospects, lives in her late parents' Malibu home but can barely afford the property taxes. Her friend and agent sets up a house swap to pay the taxes, and Chelsea sets off to Chicago to a lakefront condo. Despite their differences, Chelsea and Ramona both find that inspiration and challenges await them in their new surroundings, where they find love, adventure, and inspiration in the others' friends and neighbors.
Copyright 2024 Library Journal.VERDICT Allen's (Black Girls Must Have It All ) writing explores the psychological impacts of racism and grief and celebrates new love and personal revelations in this Christmas romance that will also appeal to fans of relationship fiction.âSierra Wilson
