The Suitcase Swap

By: Lish McBride

Narrated by: David Blair, Emma Stansfield

They've got each other's bags. Will they find each other's hearts?

Sophie isn't going to let a little thing like divorce stop her from flying to New York to see her family.
Mike isn't going to let a little thing like losing his wife stop him from flying to New York for work.
The one thing they both know for certain is that they're done with love: they're too old, too tired, too lonely for any of it.

But life has other plans...

And when the luggage carousel at JFK airport decides to give them each the wrong suitcase, they agree that a friendly dinner in the big apple won't do any harm.
After all, love stories come when you least expect them—and if his briefcase and her sunshine yellow bag got mixed up, who's to say their hearts can't get mixed up too?

So begins a love story of second chances and connection later in life, all set against the backdrop of New York City...

Enjoyable romcom-especially for Anglophiles

Romances are not unpredictable as a genre, so there is nothing shocking about the plot. But, it is well written, humorous, and warm. It doesn’t feel like AI wrote it which seems to be a common element among many typical romcoms. The dialogue and reactions are realistic and relatable. It’s particularly engaging to see a later-in-life romance. Gen X might feel particularly drawn to this. It’s nice to have characters older than a typical 28 years old and they are not the funny aunt or mother. It’s wonderful to see a treatment of middle age romance and sex which do exist in reality but seem to be barely written about.

wonderful listen!

Super cute, easy-going story with great narration! I loved it! I'll be reading and listening to more from this author and these narrators!
