Descripción editorial
Two women discover love after swapping their homes. Fleeing the messiness of their personal lives, a small-town waitress and a big-city Broadway press agent swap addresses and lives in this “sparkling” (Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author) queer contemporary romance.
Tatum Ward and Eleanor Chapman lead totally opposite lives. Tatum’s never left her Midwestern hometown. She resides in a quaint guest cottage on her parents’ property while working part-time as a waitress, where she spends most shifts ignoring her feelings for a beautiful regular named June. Eleanor dedicates every waking hour to her high-profile press career, sacrificing personal relationships for professional success, save for the occasional hookup to fight off her loneliness. When both women’s lives unexpectedly blow up at the exact same time, they each need an escape, and fast.
In Tatum’s hometown, Eleanor expects a quiet hideaway where she can recharge. Instead she gets wrapped up in the family drama that Tatum left town to avoid, pulled in by Tatum’s charismatic older sibling, Carson, who charms Eleanor at every turn. Tatum ends up in Eleanor’s New York high-rise apartment with June. One week together in the big city might make it impossible for Tatum to avoid not just her true feelings for June, but her real dreams for her life.
Amid a friendship with a reclusive Hollywood actress and a complicated family reunion, Tatum and Eleanor each discover much more than they bargained for away from home. Their house swap won’t last forever, but it might be just long enough for both women to surrender their defenses and finally fight for the life—and love—they deserve.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Morrissey (That Summer Feeling) sets the sweetness level high in this two-part queer romance. Tatum Ward, diner waitress in the small town of Trove Hills, Ill., nurses her crush on patron June Lightbell while dealing with family chaos caused by the recent discovery that she has a half-brother her father wants to introduce to her and her siblings. When June's girlfriend breaks up with her just before June's big trip to New York to promote her perfume business, Tatum seizes the opportunity to escape by stepping in as travel companion and offering a weeklong home swap to Broadway publicist Eleanor Chapman, one of June's clients. Eleanor is happy to make her own escape from relationship and work drama. She soon finds herself entertaining a fling with Tatum's wild artist sibling, Carson, who's nonbinary, and pulled into all the family events Tatum's missing. June and Tatum, meanwhile, strike up a friendship with a fading movie star in Eleanor's building who encourages them to try a relationship. Both settings feel a bit stylized, with Morrissey amping up the small-town charm and big city hubbub. The two endearing relationships get equal space to grow, while family and friends add heart to the plot. Readers looking for a Hallmark aesthetic but with queer characters will find it here.
