The Holiday Swap
The International Bestseller--A feel-good, holiday rom com about identical twins who swap lives twelve days before Christmas--perfect for fans of Christina Lauren's In a Holidaze and Josie Silver's One Day in December All they want for Christmas is a different life. When chef Charlie Goodwin gets hit on the head on the L.A. set of her reality baking show, she loses a lot more than consciousness; she also loses her ability to taste and smell--both critical to her success as show judge. Meanwhile, Charlie's identical twin, Cass, is frantically trying to hold her own life together back in their quaint mountain hometown while running the family's bustling bakery and dealing with her ex, who won't get the memo that they're over. With only days until Christmas, a desperate Charlie asks Cass to do something they haven't done since they were kids: switch places. Looking for her own escape from reality, Cass agrees. But temporarily trading lives proves more complicated than they imagined, especially when rugged firefighter Jake Greenman and gorgeous physician assistant Miguel Rodriguez are thrown into the mix. Will the twins' identity swap be a recipe for disaster, or does it have all the right ingredients for getting their lives back on track?

Honestly, the first half is solid...second half not so much. I had to skip through some eye-rolling parts that honestly could have been omitted. As other reviewers have mentioned, this really was a hallmark movie in book version. It probably would be better as a movie.
This was the first romance/holiday fiction novel I read. It was a good book but I wasn’t very thrilled by it. It reminded me of a lot of typical Christmas movies centered around “the Christmas Miracle”.
Fun, fun, fun! Christmas in the mountains and in LA. But more importantly, 'The Parent Trap' meets 'Great British Baking Show'! In this witty rom-com, twin sisters - both pastry chefs- swap lives for a week after one has a concussion and loses her sense of smell (temporarily). Hilarity ensues, but we meet some lovely characters in both locations. Charlie is a co-host on a baking competition show and Cass is running the family bakery. Lots of fun characters - and active situations (surfing, hiking) and sourdough woes. I needed something light after a few dark books and this was perfect. Knox has hit just the right note here, by exploring the relationships and communities these twins find themselves in, albeit temporarily.
