Switching places with someone else has never been more fun than in this novel about following your dreams and finding your heart from the author of Meant to Be - perfect for fans of Emery Lord and Morgan Matson!

Meet Sloane Emily Jacobs: A seriously stressed-out figure skater who choked during junior nationals.

Now meet Sloane Devon Jacobs, a spunky ice hockey player who's been suspended from her team for too many aggressive hip checks.

The two girls are on their way to skating camps in Montreal when a luggage mix-up causes them to meet. Pretty soon, the Sloanes realize that this is the opportunity they’ve been waiting for: the chance to escape their lives and switch places for the summer. But it didn't occur to Sloane E. that she might meet a hockey hottie; and Sloane D. never expected to run into a familiar (and very good-looking) face from home. It's not long before the Sloanes discover that convincing people you're someone else might be more difficult than being yourself.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I'm not sure. I liked the story, in the end, but the performances weren't that dynamic.It was FINE, but I think I would have enjoyed reading the book more than listening.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The two narrators were very flat and sometimes that made it feel like the pacing of the actual book was dragging. Sloane Devin's narrator had a horrendous Southern accent for one of the characters.

Any additional comments?

First, the premise of this book is so unrealistic. These two girls who share an uncommon name decide to switch places. One goes to an elite figure skating school, the other to an advanced hockey camp. The way they pull off the various sports is kind of glossed over, probably because it is unbelievable. However, and this is a BIG however, by the end, I didn't care that this would never work. I was sucked in to the story and I just went with it. It won me over and I was charmed by the book and the two Sloanes.

That said, I still think I would have enjoyed reading it more than I enjoyed listening to it.

Light fluff, far-fetched story, mildly entertaining. Not the caliber of YA books I typically read. I would recommend for 12-14 year olds.
