audioboek en e-book


This ā€œfunny and touchingā€ (Lauren Layne, New York Times bestselling author) fish-out-of-water tale from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Gibson explores what happens when a small-town Texas girl swaps bodies with a filthy rich socialite.

On her way from singing in church to hooking up with a Tinder date, Brittany Lynn Snider crashes her mommaā€™s minivan, and her life is changed forever. One moment sheā€™s texting HotGuyNate, and the next sheā€™s at a hospital in El Paso watching doctors operate on her near-lifeless body. If that wasnā€™t bad enough, she finds herself trapped in the Limbo Lounge where patients await their fate, playing cards and watching reruns of 7th Heaven and Heaven Help Us.

When a shimmering portal appears, it pulls Brittany upward toward heavenā€”until the loungeā€™s resident bully, a wealthy socialite named Edie, leaps through first and steals Brittanyā€™s place. Brittany now has a second chance at life on Earth, but with a catch: she must inhabit Edieā€™s body.

Waking up as Edie in a mental facility where doctors try to cure her alleged retrograde amnesia, Brittany resumes a life of privilege in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. Yet even as she basks in luxury and reconnects with Edieā€™s old flame, Brittany plans to return to her old life in Texas. But when things donā€™t go according to her plan, she must ask herself: Who is Brittany Lynn Snider, and what does she want now?

And whereā€™s Edie? Did she manage to make it past the pearly gates?

ā€œLaugh-out-loud funny with quirky characters and heartfelt moments, Drop Dead Gorgeous is a little slice of heavenā€ (Elizabeth Thompson, author of Lost in Paris).
