About this ebook

Switching places with someone else has never been more fun than in this novel about following your dreams and finding your heart from the author of Meant to Be --perfect for readers of Emery Lord and Morgan Matson!


Meet Sloane Emily Jacobs: a seriously stressed-out figure skater who choked during junior nationals. 

Now meet Sloane Devon Jacobs, a spunky ice hockey player who's been suspended from her team for too many aggressive hip checks.

The two girls are on their way to skating camps in Montreal when a luggage mix-up causes them to meet. Pretty soon, the Sloanes realize that this is the opportunity they’ve been waiting for: the chance to escape their lives and switch places for the summer. But it didn't occur to Sloane E. that she might meet a hockey hottie; and Sloane D. never expected to run into a familiar (and very good-looking) face from home. It's not long before the Sloanes discover that convincing people you're someone else might be more difficult than being yourself. 

***

"A twist on the identity-swap that's both cozily familiar and fresh . . . . sweetly uplifting." --Publishers Weekly 


"Enjoyable." --Kirkus Reviews

“Sweet and satisfying.” --Booklist

“Super cute, super hilarious and a totally fun read. I’m a big fan of the “two people switch places and fool everyone around them” plot line (see: The Parent Trap), and Being Sloane Jacobs pulled it off awesomely.” –HelloGiggles.com

I luv this book so much. Sloane Emily is my favorite!! She gets to meet and fall in love with a hockey hunk. Finally stands up to her cheating father. Realises she has a awesome talent in hockey!! I think she totally got the better half of this switch-a-ru. Going to Sloane Devon's hockey camp makes her a stronger person.

I normally don't like switch books. But I still loved this one. There is just something about this author that really gets into the mind of a sixteen year old girl. I'm seventeen and I should know. Having said that I appreciate how clean this book is. Its really cute and recommendation worthy.

I didn't want to be sucked in because the premise is so far-fetched. But in the end, I just didn't care because I was totally invested.
