Twenty-something Leena and her nearly-80-year-old grandmother Eileen decide to swap lives in The Switch by Beth O'Leary ($13). Both reeling from a sudden death in the family and needing to regroup, Leena decides to escape to her grandmother's cottage in a quaint English village to try small town living, while Eileen hops down to London to stay in Leena's flat and experience the big city. In the process, they each find themselves — and love where they least expect it.
This story reminds me of the film The Holiday, but instead of two internet strangers switching places, it's two women from the same family. In addition to navigating new environments, there's also the generational difference between Leena and Eileen that brings about some funny situations.
