Summary
An utterly heartwarming love story that will make you laugh and cry, fans of The Flatshare, The Hating Game and movies like The Holiday will fall head over heels for The House Swap.
When Cassie and James find each other on a home swap website, it feels meant to be. City hotshot James needs a bolthole after a relationship goes sour, and Cassie needs to leave the comfort of her little island to research her new book. Soon, James is living in Cassie’s cute but ramshackle beachside cottage, and Cassie’s living in James’ London apartment. It’s the perfect solution. Except James didn’t imagine he’d be sharing his home with 11 chickens and three alpacas. And Cassie is less than impressed when James’ ex-girlfriend turns up at his door, demanding to know where he’s gone. The more Cassie and James talk, the more the tension between them mounts. But as the insults fly so do the sparks, and when the time finally comes to swap back, Cassie and James find they aren’t quite ready to give each other up.

A charming story, although a little predictable
Really easy listening. The story of a house swap, gaining a fresh start and outlook on two very different lives, who soon realise there is more on offer if only you can adapt to new surroundings, take risks and break down some of your own barriers.
A little predictable. But very charming and funny, and thoroughly enjoyed.

Great story, not so great narration
I’m ashamed to say that despite listening to several audiobooks a week, I rarely write a review. And this audiobook was a lovely light hearted listen, probably not one that will stick with me for a long time but I did enjoy it. However, it was spoilt for me by the narrators, particularly the female narrator. It just didn’t flow properly and it seemed that any punctuation marks had been ignored. But it does say something for the book though that had I not been enjoying so much and wanting to know what happened with Cassie & James in the end, my irritation would’ve won over and I’d have given up.
But if you are a better person than I am and less prone to irritation then you probably won’t even notice.

Lovely book
Easy to listen to, lovely characters, nice story…..I pleaded for them both just to say what was on their minds and not worry about the outcome - but I guess, then, there wouldn’t be a book 🤣

Cracking story but ......
My first Jo Lovett read , really enjoyed the story on audible - The female narration was appalling , you have a job understanding her very squeaky Scottish..... so nearly gave up .
The guy narrator on the other hand was perfect ,
I will now look for the sequel and perhaps read on Kindle!

An excellent, if predictable story.
Loved the characters, they jumped off the page: the independent Cassie and workaholic James. Everything was great, except the female narration. She spoke like there was a full stop after every word.
Her accent was great, but diction was awful.

Enjoyable story, slightly stilted narration.
I really liked the story, the characters and settings of these books but the narration by McNeill is very stilted and almost juddery, almost as is there is a full stop after every word. I do love her accent however and the tone of her voice.
