Synopsis

What do you do when the body you wake up in isn’t yours?

Olly and Scott promised to be best friends forever. They grew up on the same street, went to the same school, and did everything together. But one hot summer night, teenage experimentation caused hurt feelings and confusion, and their friendship was destroyed.

Four years later they’re both eighteen years old and in their final term at school. Scott is a football star and Olly’s preparing for a main role in the school play. After a heated argument in the street—witnessed by their mysterious, elderly neighbour—they wake up the next morning stuck in each other’s bodies.

With no idea how to get back to normal, they have to co-operate in order to hide their secret. Spending time together rekindles their friendship, yet feelings run deeper for both of them. With the end of school fast approaching, the clock is ticking. Unless they discover how to change back, they could be stuck in the wrong bodies forever.

Loved the story, loved the performance!

I am a huge fan of Hamish Long’s audio performances and I love Jay Northcote’s stories so accepting a copy of Into You for review was a not at all a hard decision. 😊

I loved this story about two friends who kind of became enemies and then found their way back to friends who eventually become lovers. They get some help from a mysterious older neighbor lady who added a bit of mystery and magic to the story.

Into You is different from anything else I’ve read by Jay Northcote. It’s a cute body-swap story with some added conflict because Scott’s father is homophobic. I haven’t read all of Jay’s backlist so I don’t know for sure if he’s written anything else like this; if he hasn’t, I think he should! 😊
