What if you meet the love of your life, but he thinks you’re someone else?
Anna and Marley are best friends. So when Anna rings Marley, panicking because she has to miss a tour of an exclusive wedding venue, Marley agrees to go in her friend’s place.
After being totally ignored by the glamorous receptionist who can tell she doesn’t belong there, Marley meets handsome hotel manager Cameron. He assumes she’s Anna and instead of admitting that she’s not the blushing bride, but the unlucky-in-love single friend, Marley plays along to see what it’s like to be Anna for a day.
After all, Marley is unemployed, single, and was woken up that morning by her flatmate playing the bagpipes. Anna has a high-flying career and is planning the perfect wedding. Why wouldn’t Marley want to be her?
Only she wasn’t counting on Cameron being so smart and funny. Or this spark between them that she can’t ignore. She hasn’t felt this way about a guy in forever. But he thinks she’s somebody better.
Marley needs a way out of this mix-up to get her shot at true love. But her fictional fiancé is now standing in her way and it’s harder than she thought to stop living someone else’s life…
A funny, uplifting, and poignant story of friendship, love, and finding your way. Fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Holly Bourne, and Bridget Jones will adore Elizabeth Neep’s wit and warmth.

My thoughts on The Mix-Up by Elizabeth Neep
This is a perfect summer beach read. The story is light-hearted, funny, a little preposterous, and a quick story to read.
The tale revolves more around friends than it does around romance. The friendship theme certainly carries the story. You can dig as deep into the relationships as you want, or you can simply take the story at face value and enjoy a lovely couple of hours.
You can delve into the psychology of pretending to be someone or laugh at the unlikely situations these characters get into. Perhaps, you can do both.
This book will give you what you expect; quirky characters, lovely settings, sharp wit, bad decisions, and so much more.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
