Take two miserable characters ‒ a gay woman (Greta) from Maine who is tired of having to appease her family, and a gay man (Truman) living in New Orleans who has just discovered his partner of 11 months has a husband and child ‒ and give them a somewhat pushy mutual friend (Ramona) who puts them in touch for a house swap for the holidays. What do you get? A changeup in each of their lives, bringing them each new ideas, joy, and romance. The over-arching theme is how much of yourself do you give up in order to make your family/partner happy? Is it okay to do what you want, even if it will make someone unhappy? The book is filled with sage advice which comes from many different colorful characters. Four hundred+ pages flew by fast.
