Life on Loan Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,204 ratings

It’s a surprising second act for two women who decide to rewrite their lives in this enriching novel of friendship and starting over from the bestselling author of Only One Life.

After thirty years, college friends Lena Browder and Olivia Westcoat have met again by chance at an unexpected crossroads: an airport lounge in Atlanta. Lena is running away from home and her demanding family. Olivia is trying to find her way after a painful divorce. With their old selves in the rearview, they toast to a new beginning—and it starts with a spontaneous dare.

Agreeing to trade houses for a month of rediscovery, Lena will stay in Olivia’s Charleston condo. Olivia’s retreat? Lena’s isolated river cottage in the Northern Neck of Virginia. Two perfect getaways. Thirty-four days to reset.

With fresh new perspectives and the renewal of a heartening friendship, Lena and Olivia find their passions, reinvent themselves, and reclaim what they’ve lost. When unexpected romance blooms and careers take new detours, it’s also a time for courage and risk. Now they’ll have to make hard choices to follow through on their promise for a second chance and finally have the lives they dream of.

Review

“Swapping houses never looked so good in this light and sweet romantic comedy.” Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

Ashley Farley is the bestselling author of the Sweeney Sisters series, as well as Sweet Tea Tuesdays, Magnolia Nights, Beyond the Garden, Nell and Lady, Only One Life, and other books about women for women. Her characters are mothers, daughters, sisters, and wives facing real-life situations, and her goal is to keep readers turning pages with stories that resonate long after the last word.

In addition to writing, she is an amateur photographer, an exercise junkie, and a wife and mother. While she has lived in Richmond, Virginia, for more than two decades, part of her heart remains in the salty marshes of the South Carolina Lowcountry, where she grew up. Through the eyes of her characters, she captures the moss-draped trees, delectable cuisine, and kindhearted folk with lazy drawls that make the area so unique.

"Life on Loan" Will Sweep You In
I thoroughly enjoyed this book from the first sentence. I drew me in. I couldn't put it down. I couldn't sleep last night and ended up finishing the last 50% of the book. I'm a fan of life at a crossroads theme in books, especially women's fiction and in the age group that is presented. The characters are in my own age group, take about 10 years older on my part. I thought that the character of Lena was so true to life. A lost soul and wondering how she got there. I've known a couple of women in long term marriages that have felt the same way. Olivia too, was very vulnerable and for her, it was easy to get drawn into other people's drama. I myself, have been there, done that and bought that T-shirt too. So, her character was easy to understand. You just have to walk away, as she did. It's I've known a couple of Jade's as well. Not to spoil what's in the novel, just suffice to say, there are a lot of controlling and not so nice people out there. I've know 'em too. I liked every single character except for a couple of them and when, make it a when, you read Ashley Farley's novel, you'll see which characters that you just wanted to slap into next week!Give yourself a treat and get swept into "Life on Loan". It's a good story about possibilities.
