This was a good story about two characters accidentally switching places with each other and then deciding to try it out for the summer.

Elijah and Jessica have nothing in common except their Korean names and the fact that they both have summer internships at the same company in New York. Elijah’s dad runs the company and Jessica’s dad is a low man on the totem pole. Jessica is planning on working hard and making good connections in her internship and Elijah knows that his dad has sent him for a cushy job that won’t require much from him.

But Jessica and Elijah get mixed up.
Jessica gets the status internship and Elijah gets the one where he’ll actually have to work. But it gives both of them an opportunity they’ve never had before. It gives Jessica time around powerful people, an expensive wardrobe and a luxe apartment to stay in.
It gives Elijah a chance to make friends and to figure out what he’s actually good at when his family name isn’t doing all the work for him.

Of course we can’t expect this life swap to go perfectly smoothly. It’s practically bound to fail. And Jessica and Elijah developing feelings for each other adds another interesting element.

I got to read an early ebook edition from NetGalley. Thanks.
