Have you ever wanted to swap your life with someone else? To live their life instead of your own? To change things from the normal mundane day to day existence you live now?That is the offer presented to Kate just when she needed an out. The offer, via email, came from Anna. Anna explains it would mean giving up her own life totally - bank accounts, house, car, job. Almost immediately we, the reader, find out that this is a set up. But the extent of that set up doesn't come out straight away. The author keeps the suspense going all the way through the book.Kate strikes me as being a very naive person. Anna makes a few mistakes along the way which Kate does sometimes pick up on, but she doesn't let it worry her. Instead she just goes with the flow regardless of her doubts.Kate immerses herself into Anna's life, attending acting classes, the gym and continuing the internet dating which Anna started before she left.In the meantime Anna converses with Kate's husband via email, sending him saucy messages which is very unlike Kate, but which seem to work in convincing him it is Kate.Kate meets Ben, and finds herself taking on the role of Anna even more, as she finds herself falling for him. But can she pull it off, or will she feel she has to keep him fully informed? And what will happen when the unthinkable happens?When Kate finally discovers what Anna has been up to she is shocked at quite how far it has gone. Can she turn things around or is she destined to lose her previous life forever?Just when I thought that everything was over the last chapter hit me! The author turned everything totally on its head with that one! What a shocker.
