Many people have told me that after reading the synopsis of Amy By Any Other Name, the first thing that they think of is the movie Freaky Friday. I'm going to tell you the connections between Freaky Friday and Amy By Any Other Name.

Synopsis of Freaky Friday

The family including divorced Dr. Tess Coleman, and Anna Coleman.. the bickering mother and daughter. During a happy time of a second marriage, the tides turn and a storm is brewing. After finding themselves in an 'earthquake', that only they could feel, they wake up the next morning feeling uncomfortable in their own skin. Looking into the mirror, Anna sees her mother.. hmm.. how is that possible? THEY HAD SWITCHED BODIES. They tried absolutely everything to switch back the morning they found out. They even tried ramming into each other to switch that, they were surprised that it didn't work. So, they have to live in each others bodies. A high-schooler going to work as a therapist, having multiple credit cards, and having to be interviewed can be a tad intimidating. Now an adult having to go back to the dreadful years of High School, having to deal with the stress of worrying about school, a band and a boy. One major problem was brewing and then both had forgotten about it till the day of. THE MARRIAGE. Could Anna marry as her mom to her to-be dad? Ah, I'll stop here, before I reveal too much.. but will they switch back in time for the marriage?

Synopsis of Amy By Any Other Name

If you guys have read my previous blogs, you should have a pretty good idea about what happens in the book. But let me reiterate a little bit. Is it possible that you could switch bodies.. that you don't even know? Amy hurts herself and ends up in the hospital. But everyone refers to her as Krystal. Amy looks in the mirror and is mortified with what she sees. She looks in the mirror and sees.. not her.. she sees a girl she doesn't even know. It's probably Krystal. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? Amy is frustrated that no one believes that she is stuck in someone else's body! She has to devise a plan. Once she meets up with Krystal.. Krystal refuses to switch back! Amy had a perfect life, while Krystal came from a pretty distraught one. Why would she want to go back to her old life? Well, now Amy has to go back to the drawing board and re-devise her plan. Will they switch back or are they going to be trapped in someone else's skin for the rest of their lives?
