Published on January 9, 2018

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Would you switch lives with someone you just met?

Sabrina Monroe is poised and ready for her future as Mrs. Todd Edward Blakely. Everything seems perfect, but on the big day, suddenly she’s not so sure. Her nicely mapped out life ahead of her, she finds herself in her own movie scene as the runaway bride, climbing out of the bathroom window. All she can think is escape.

Addison Bloom needs a life makeover. She’s travelled the world to find love–and failed. On her way back from yet another friend’s wedding, she starts to feel ill at the mere thought of seeing another veil that’s not hers. Should she go back home and marry her former sweetheart, or stick it out looking for love in her new home?

Sabrina and Addison are both on the run, wanting to escape to a new life. As the two strangers talk at an airport, discovering they have the same job at opposite ends of the country, a crazy idea unfolds–one which might provide the answers they’ve both been looking for.

Is there such a thing as a One Way Ticket to a new life, or will they find they’re running from themselves, not just the past?

Picture yourself at a busy airport, standing at the departure board, checking to see if your flight to Fargo is on time. After double-checking your gate number, your eye drifts down- Fresno, Ft. Lauderdale, Las Vega, New Orleans, New York. Don’t you feel exhilarated and hopeful just thinking momentarily about ditching your business trip and flying somewhere fabulous?

Now picture yourself at a busy airport, double checking that you have your boarding pass when you hear laughs and cheers and you see something white-ish dashing by. It’s a runaway bride! What if you met up with her in the bathroom and chatted with her? Then WHAT IF YOU SWITCHED LIVES WITH HER?

This is the premise of this adorable, fun and creative Romantic Comedy. Sabrina is the runaway bride from San Francisco, who ditched her groom at the altar in Dallas. She is helped in her time of need at the Dallas airport by Addison, Addi for short. Addi moved from New Zealand to Orlando because of a boyfriend who then ended up dumping her. She is not keen on her current life sitch. When Sabrina and Addi realize that they are both florists- then snap- why not switch lives to get a new perspective! Addi goes to San Fran and Sabrina heads to Orlando. They both look for new lives and end up finding new loves.

 “The idea of being able to escape my life, trying something new in a new city had felt exciting.” A fun and charming read- what I liked best were the scenes from each city, the views of SF Bay, the restaurants in Orlando. Addi and Sabrina were likeable and the guys they meet are well-rounded and loveable, too. And I adored the whole concept of the story. What I wasn’t as keen on- that the older ladies in the book were all kinda cranky and one-dimensional.

 I have loved the writing of both authors- having them join forces to create this fresh story made me happy ever after! Watch out who you meet in the airport. This is a pleasant and light-hearted read and I recommend it!                                                           — Jena C. Henry
