This book is written on a plot which each of us can identify with. There comes a moment in everyone's life when one wants to exchange the current scenario with someone else's life. This is what this book is all about. A bride running from her wedding and a girl tired of the current state of life meet at the airport and exchange their house keys and addresses and thus a spectacular story of life altering events begins. This was a very unique and interesting read. I recommend this book to all the readers. I received an ARC of this copy for free from Netgalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Good read. Great characters and story flow. Interesting and entertaining look into what someone would do if questioning choices and the opportunity to change things. If you would change if you could. Sometimes the choices we make are second guessed but would you really change them? What if you found someone in the same boat would you both feel the same and change things? Life is scary and the jobs and relationships we have in life are always thoughts to ponder the choices we make. Liked the book! Hard to put this one down. Would recommend.

One Way Ticket by Melissa Baldwin and Kate O’Keeffe was a wonderful romantic comedy. When I read the synopsis, I knew I it was going to be a great book because of the plot, and I was right!

Sabrina and Addison meet in an airport. Addi is flying back to Orlando from yet another wedding that wasn’t hers. Sabrina is running through DFW airport escaping from her wedding. As Addi helps Sabrina, the two talk and find out they both have a lot in common. Both are florists, Addi’s shop in Orlando, and Sabrina’s in San Francisco. In addition, both want to escape their realities for just a little while. Each think how wonderful it would be to just leave their lives for just a little bit, so the two come up with a crazy plan….switch lives. Addi will live in Sabrina’s apartment and run her shop, and Sabrina will do the same thing. How hard could that be? Things are going smoothly until each one meet men who could definitely complicate things.

As I wrote earlier, I loved the concept of the book. With great characters and great writing, this writing duo have come up with a perfect romantic comedy. Every chapter is told in either Addi’s or Sabrina’s POV. Not only did it give a deeper insight to the character, but it also allowed me to see each of their new experiences through their eyes. I could feel their excitement of being in a new city, and I especially felt their emotions from meeting the new men in their lives. Each woman was a woman that I would want to be friends with. One of the best things about the book was a twist the authors threw in. It definitely makes for an even more interesting read.

It’s been a while since I have read a good romantic, chick lit book, and I’m so glad I discovered this talented duo. I can’t wait to read more from them.

An easy going holiday read. The lives of two woman cross, by happenstance, at an airport. At the right moment in time. The right circumstance. Discovering a kindred spirit, the two decide to swap lives in an effort to keep their demons at bay. Living their lives in the others shoes gives them a heavy dose of reality, but has also been the balm they both needed to move on. Witty. Funny. Totally unrealistic. A light hearted, good fun book.

I could not wait to read this book, as both Melissa Baldwin and Kate O'Keeffe are immediate one-click authors for me, and this book did not disappoint! The writing between the duo is so smooth that you cannot figure who wrote what BUT I have my suspicions only because of their backgrounds. I cannot wait for another book from these two! A delightful read for a weekend getaway!

This book was fun and was a great adventure away from all the thrillers I have read lately. It was humorous. I loved how it was kind of like an adult take on Freaky Friday. I enjoyed the message behind the book and think a lot of people would find this heart warming as well as fun. The characters were well rounded and I enjoyed their personalities. I definitely would recommend this fun romantic comedy to anyone looking for something light, quick and fun! I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Picture yourself at a busy airport, standing at the departure board, checking to see if your flight to Fargo is on time. After double-checking your gate number, your eye drifts down- Fresno, Ft. Lauderdale, Las Vega, New Orleans, New York. Don’t you feel exhilarated and hopeful just thinking momentarily about ditching your business trip and flying somewhere fabulous?

Now picture yourself at a busy airport, double checking that you have your boarding pass when you hear laughs and cheers and you see something white-ish dashing by. It’s a runaway bride! What if you met up with her in the bathroom and chatted with her? Then WHAT IF YOU SWITCHED LIVES WITH HER?

This is the premise of this adorable, fun and creative Romantic Comedy. Sabrina is the runaway bride from San Francisco, who ditched her groom at the altar in Dallas. She is helped in her time of need at the Dallas airport by Addison, Addi for short. Addi moved from New Zealand to Orlando because of a boyfriend who then ended up dumping her. She is not keen on her current life sitch. When Sabrina and Addi realize that they are both florists- then snap- why not switch lives to get a new perspective! Addi goes to San Fran and Sabrina heads to Orlando. They both look for new lives and end up finding new loves.

“The idea of being able to escape my life, trying something new in a new city had felt exciting.” A fun and charming read- what I liked best were the scenes from each city, the views of SF Bay, the restaurants in Orlando. Addi and Sabrina were likeable and the guys they meet are well-rounded and loveable, too. And I adored the whole concept of the story. What I wasn’t as keen on- that the older ladies in the book were all kinda cranky and one-dimensional.

I have loved the writing of both authors- having them join forces to create this fresh story made me happy ever after! Watch out who you meet in the airport. This is a pleasant and light-hearted read and I recommend it!

Thank you to Netgalley, the publiher and the authors of this book. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This story is written in alternating POVs of the main characters Sabrina and Addi. The two meet in an airport. Two strangers; Sabrina who had just run away from her wedding by escaping through a window and Addi who was bored with going to weddings when she did not see hers happening anytime soon. A long conversation in an airport and they get the crazy idea to switch lives. Normally people will joke about something like this and forget about it but not this two.

They actually switch lives! The switch obviously brings about some changes in their lives. At a personal level they develop and find themselves. One of the characters also finally gets the courage to stand up to her mother. There is some romance of course. One of the ladies falls in love with an unexpected someone(you just have to read the book to find out).

It was quite entertaining to read about how they navigated each others lives business all the while trying to find themselves and enjoying their new homes. Although the two characters were too similar, l loved Addison more. Something about her way of thinking reminded me of myself.

I think this book would have been so much better if the characters were not a copy of each other in many aspects. Sometimes I could not tell who was who until Sabrina thought of her almost wedding then I could tell. The ending also seemed rushed to me with the authors trying to tie all loose ends as fast as possible. The romance was weird and I wish it could have been better developed so that all the feelings involved would seem realistic.

Nevertheless if you are looking for a beach read, a chicklit book to add to your tbr list or just a quick and fun read then this is the book for you.

One Way Ticket was the perfect read after the craziness of the holidays. The story was entertaining & a breathe of fresh air.

The love story that developed for both of the main characters was sweet & romantic. And the friendship built between two strangers was perfect.

I hope this duo will write more together- they have a wonderful style

This story was written to be “made for TV movie”. It was predictable but a cute story.

4.5 Stars.

I really liked this story! Addi and Sabrina were unlikely friends in a unique situation. They take a huge chance and it pays pff. They find themselves while getting lost in a new city. I typically have a hard time with dual main characters but in this case they were both delightful. One Way Ticket was funny, charming, and adorable.

I received a copy of One Way Ticket by Kate O'Keeffe & Melissa Baldwin from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was intrigued by the summary and found this novel to be decent overall. It took a while for me to get into the book due to the pacing and switching viewpoints. I did find the plot to be predictable and Addison's character was much less likeable than Sabrina's, but it was never a chore to continue reading. Overall, One Way Ticket was a fun read - and a quick read.
