The snow is plentiful, the mood is full of holiday cheer, and she's earning extra cash working at the cozy local inn. But her perfect holiday plans crash to a halt when her boss's frustratingly cute nephew, Teddy Veracruz, becomes her coworker. When they accidentally switch phones one afternoon, they both realize they've been hiding things from each other.

Where would you go to eat, hang out, relax, etc.?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would absolutely and no doubt complete the Top Ten Things to do in Holly list. From eating fried marshmallows to playing chess at the train depot and then ice skating (I\u2019m pretty bad at ice skating) and all the rest. And, I would really love to see Teddy and Lila do karaoke. Heck, I\u2019m usually a shy person, but for them, I\u2019d jump up and sing and oldie but goodie song.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>If\u00a0Lila and Teddy\u00a0were\u00a0to hang out with characters from other books, who would they be and why?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think Lila and Teddy would get along with Mat and Winnie of Pintip Dunn\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dating Makes Perfect<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I think that they could relate to each other\u2019s plight in getting to know (and like) someone who you thought wasn\u2019t compatible with in the first place!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>If there was one fictional place you could travel to for a day, where would it be and why?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would love to go to Rosehill Cottage in Surrey, which was the place Kate Winslet\u2019s character owned in the film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Holiday<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A writing retreat there sounds absolutely heavenly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>If you buried a time\u00a0capsule with three items inside, what three items would you choose and\u00a0why?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 &#8211; One of my journals. I journal every day and it would be interesting to see if my neurosis held up over time!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 \u2013 My cell phone. With how fast technology is going I wonder how different our cell phones evolve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 \u2013 A face mask. A reminder of the global pandemic that we all lived in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What was your favorite bit of research you ended up not using?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The different indoor climbing competitions! It is a serious sport, and the community is huge! My son is an indoor climber and spending time talking about something he loves was really special.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is your favorite quote, scene, or moment from\u00a0<\/b><b><i>The Holiday Switch<\/i><\/b><b>?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My absolute favorite scene is of Teddy and Lila ice skating at Prancer\u2019s Ice Skating Rink.
