I almost got this book 2 weeks ago at the Library to read.
Now I will but it will have to wait, I am so waiting for the new Nicolas Sparks book out in late Sept.
Hugs!
Great tale and the moral at the center of it always rings true...the grass is not always greener on the other side! It would be so cool if we could actually do this...I wonder who we would chose to swap with???
