Book Description

Publication Date: 29 April 2010

Rachel hates her life and everyone in it - she even has suspicions that her on/off boyfriend David might not be entirely trustworthy. However, when David invites her to a music festival in England featuring their friend's band, she jumps at the chance for an overseas adventure.

Hoping to surprise David, Rachel arrives at the festival early, where she runs into a nasty surprise of her own - she sees David kissing their friend Jo. Distraught, Rachel runs off, wishing she could leave her life behind... the next thing she knows, she's back with David. But not as herself... She's now in Jo's body!

Can she keep the swap a secret from David until she can work out exactly what's going on and get her revenge? Over the course of a very weird weekend, Rachel puts herself in someone else's shoes and finds that her own maybe weren't as uncomfortable as she'd always thought. But can she ever be herself again?

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious 'body swap' fiction 11 May 2010
By L
Format:Paperback
One of my all time favourite chicklit reads is Luisa Plaja's Split By A Kiss, in which Brit teen Jo moves to America... and finds herself literally split in two following a disastrous kiss with the school hottie. In Swapped By A Kiss, we revisit some of the same characters as they meet up at a music festival in muddy old England. But this time around, we're mostly hanging out with Jo's 'gothically inclined' American classmate, Rachel. Kind of. Because thanks to a badly-timed kiss and an even more badly-timed wish at the beginning of the story, Rachel spends most of the novel inhabiting Jo's body. Which means the real Jo is transported into Rachel's body, leading to a case of major confusion for the switchees... and mucho hilarity for the reader.

Having read both of Luisa Plaja's previous novels, I was prepared for Swapped By A Kiss. I started reading it at home, with absolutely no strangers present to witness the inevitable descent into giggles, snorts and giggle-snorts I knew would ensue. Unfortunately, I then had to go out, and managed to find myself reading the side-splittingly funny 'glow pants' episode on a train full of suited types who (bless them) did a marvellous job of pretending not to notice my unrestrained guffawing. As in Split By A Kiss, most of the big chuckles come courtesy of Jo's best American friend, the seriously clueless Tori. An airhead with a heart of gold, Tori's ditzy outlook on the world is the perfect match for main character Rachel's super-spiky snark.

However, Swapped By A Kiss isn't just played for laughs. As body swap stories go, this one is a little more subtle than the familiar parent / teenager or male / female switcheroos. After all, Rachel and Jo are friends.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most enjoyable books I've read this year. 8 Jun 2010
By E. Renner
Format:Paperback
Swapped by a Kiss is a warm, funny book filled with characters you'd love to know in real life. It deals with some serious issues: identity, self-esteem, relationships with less than perfect parents, what happens when teen 'lurve' turns into real relationships that need nurturing; but clever plotting and a light, humourous touch make sure this never slows the read. Plaja knows her stuff, and the American v. English misunderstandings are great fun. It's worth buying this book just for the iconic 'glow-pants' episode! It was great to meet up again with some of my favourite characters from Split by a Kiss, and I said goodbye reluctantly at the end of the book. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absorbing sequel 27 May 2010
By E Gale
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed Luisa Plaja's first book, Split By A Kiss, so much that when the sequel came out I had those inevitable high expectations - and I wasn't disappointed. Swapped By A Kiss is another great mix of humour and family / friendship / relationship drama. Plaja has a way of taking a concept we can all identify with and executing it in a way that is a lot of fun, strangely believable (I don't know how she makes it work but she does!), and also full of insights into the trials of being a teenager (some of which I don't seem to have grown out of...). The main character is refreshing - she's got real spirit (and real problems) and isn't a crowd-follower. It was a treat to revisit the characters from Split By A Kiss, and as soon as I'd finished Swapped I was thinking "I hope Plaja writes another one". Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light and Fun Read! 19 May 2010
By Jo
Format:Paperback
Swapped starts a few months after Split by a Kiss ends. Jo is with Albie, Tori is friends with Jo now instead of the popular gang, and most importantly Rachel is with David. Ish. With her fiery personality and raging jealousy, arguments are common between the two of them. One such fight happens before David goes to England for a festival, but when Rachel decides to surprise him by turning up at the festival, he finds him kissing Jo.

Jo splitting in two in the first book was just awesome. Following her down two different paths at the same time was awesome, but watching Rachel in Jo's body, trying to be British and nice was just genius! I didn't really relate all that much to Rachel, as she's hugely into graphic novels, comics and superheroes - not really my bag. But I sympathised with her and her situation. Not only are the guys in Rachel-Rachel's and Rachel-Jo's life "dastards", but there are more serious issues running through the book; identity and self-image.

Before the swap took place, it was heart breaking to read Rachel's thoughts about herself, and about Jo. What it says above in the blurb, "Super-lovely, super-loved, all-round perfect Jo," is exactly what Rachel thinks of her, where as she describes herself as "oversized". She believes she's a nightmare, and if she was Jo, she wouldn't have to deal with the crap going on in her life, and everyone would like her better - especially David. It's just awful having to read about Rachel's low self-esteem and her other issues, and not being able to give her a hug. It's really sad!

However, this is not to say Swapped is hard, emotional reading. Swapped is quite a light, humourous read, and pretty fun. The scrapes Rachel gets herself into in Jo's body are just hilarious.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant read 1 Dec 2010
By Book binger
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I loved Split by a Kiss and Extreme Kissing by Luisa Plaja but I think 'Swapped' is possibly her best yet. Who hasn't wondered what it would be like to live in someone else's shoes for a while? But Rachel [who is such a cool and funny character] soon finds out, being Jo isn't quite as much fun as she hoped....Would thoroughly recommend this book.
