Vicky Townsley is single but not loving it so much. She has a top job in London with "Poise" magazine. The only thing missing is a husband and children to make her life complete.Amber Winslow is a stay-at-home mom who had been a practicing attorney. She and her husband are extremely wealthy due to the husbands job on Wall Street. However, Amber is unsatisfied with her life. She has everything. She lives in a beautiful neighborhood outside of Manhattan. She spends tons of money on her clothes and her lifestyle.The editor of "Poise" magazine comes up with a plan. She wants a successful single woman and a married mom to switch places to find out which lifestyle is the best. Vicky is chosen to switch lives with Amber the stay-at-home wealthy mom.Once their lives are swapped, Vicky and Amber are surprised to find that they miss their lives. The insights that they glean from their switch help them to make changes in their lives going forward.This is a fast chick lit read that I found enjoyable. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Ok, an easy read but predictable and shallow *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 11, 2011* This was an okay chick lit book. I think I'm losing my patience for these kinds of books, but they are perfect for listening to on the long drive to and from work. I don't have to exert too much attention in order to stay focused.Vicki, the features director at Poise magazine in England, is single and wonders what it would be like to be married with children. She decides to find out by writing an article for Poise magazine after swapping lives with a married woman for a month. Amber, a housewife living in the Connecticut suburbs, exhausted by trying to "keep up with the Joneses", is the perfect swap partner. She is married with two beautiful children. It seems like an intriguing premise, but it took over halfway through the book before the swap even took place and honestly, the build up to the swap was rather boring.Amber really got on my nerves. So caught up in her society lifestyle, she was forever buying all the expensive brand-name clothing and hiring ridiculously expensive interior designers to decorate her home, all to impress her society "friends" who were constantly judging her and talking behind her back. We're supposed to feel sorry for her choice to live this shallow lifestyle? She rarely spent time with her children, but I felt we were supposed to be sympathetic to her plight. I felt she was a shallow, neglectful mother, leaving the nanny to take care of everything in regard to her children.When the two women swap lives, predictably, they miss their own lives. I didn't learn anything new here. It was an ok book and was an easy read, but seemed quite shallow (at times outright annoying). Very predictable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ever wanted to walk in someone else's shoes? *by T***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 31, 2006* This novel is another delight from Mrs. Green! Swapping Lives explores the lives of two women who live in completely different worlds. The first woman, Vicky, is a single features editor at a British magazine. The other woman, Amber, is a wealthy Conneticut socialite with a husband and two children. Both women are going through a rut in their lives and wonder what it would be like if (for Vicky) she had a husband and kids and (for Amber) if she was suddenly single again, would their lives be more fulfilling? In order to find out they swap lives for a month in an experiment to see if they'd truly be happier in another woman's shoes. As expected there are some predictable, chick lit elements to this book. But, overall the novel is entertaining and you will find yourself rooting for both heroines as they discover that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/23614091-swapping-lives](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/23614091-swapping-lives) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
