SwapLife
About this ebook
Pasha seems to have it all: a Los Angeles mansion, a wealthy father, a celebrity stepmom — a picture-perfect family. The problem is that he doesn't feel a part of it. Lost and lonely, the only thing Pasha is sure of is his crush on his best friend Noah. But after a humiliating failed kiss, Pasha needs to escape LA somewhere as far as possible. Somewhere like...
Rio de Janeiro, where Natan will be starting business school in the fall. His real dream of becoming a Hollywood filmmaker feels impossibly out of reach. Or is it? His best friend Mari wants him to join the SwapLife app, where you switch places with someone in another country, living in their home, and experiencing all the trappings of their life.
When Pasha and Natan match on SwapLife, it seems like the answer they've been looking for. However, a brief layover in New York City takes a turn when flight delays force them to spend the night. Sparks fly, but they part ways as their adventure begins.
As Natan and Pasha dive into each other's worlds, they begin to realize their favorite thing about their new lives might just be each other. But what happens when the swap is over?
