‘Funny, wince-inducing and utterly original’ Jojo Moyes ‘Freaky Friday gets a midlife glow up’ Alexandra Potter ‘Feel-good and tear jerking’ Lisa Jewell ‘Both funny and unexpectedly emotional’ Jill Mansell ***** Last night Paul and Sian called time on their marriage. After dropping their youngest at uni, the thought of sharing a loveless empty nest was just too much. But this morning something else feels wrong.
Maybe it's sleeping apart for the first time in twenty-four years. Maybe that second glass of wine hit harder than usual. Maybe this is just what an older body feels like … Except the mirror above the sink betrays a much stranger truth.
Inexplicably – impossibly – Paul and Sian appear to have switched bodies. And they're desperate to change back. After all it'll be next to impossible to keep this a secret from troubled kids, needy parents, work colleagues and friends, never mind having to wrangle their new body parts… There's only one solution: this couple on the verge of breaking up are going to have to come back together to sort this out.
***** ‘Comedy gold’ Clare Chambers ‘It’s clever, funny and unexpectedly moving – I loved it!’ Fiona Gibson ‘Legitimately genius, I had the best time reading it… The concept is brilliant and the writing is revealing, relatable and magical – in all the ways’ Lucy Vine
