Book details
The Holiday Switch (Underlined Paperbacks)
Description
Lila Santos is ready for her last winter break of high school. The snow in her small town of Holly, New York, is plentiful, the mood is as cosy as a fuzzy Christmas sweater, and she's earning extra cash working at the local inn-AKA the setting of the greatest film of all time, Holiday by the Lake-while moonlighting as an anonymous book blogger. But her perfect holiday plans crash to a halt when her boss's frustratingly cute nephew, Teddy Rivera, becomes her coworker. Lila is type A; Teddy is type "Anything but Lila's Way," and the two of them can't stop butting heads over tangled icicle lights and messy gift shop merch. But when they accidentally switch phones one afternoon, they realize they've both been hiding things from each other. Will their secrets-and an unexpected snowstorm-bring these rivals together?
