Maybe it's time they swapped places...

Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All of the opinions are my own and this did not affect my review in any way.

I have heard amazing things about Beth O´leary so when I saw an ARC of this book on NetGalley I knew I had to read it right away.

The Switch follows Leena, who is tired of life in her twenties and Eileen who is sick of being 79. So when the opportunity presents itself Leena and Eileen decide to swap places.

I really loves this book, for a while it had the potential of being a new favorite read and although it ended up being a 4 star read I was still very happy to read it.

My favorite thing about this book are the characters, the author has a way of writing characters that they feel completely real and true to life. My favorite character is Eileen by far, she cracked me up every single chapter and I just wanted to know more about her life and her view on things. (she reminded me a lot about my grandmother so that was fun too).

Leena is definitely an unlikable character at first and I had a really hard time trying to connect with her, however it was nice to see her grow by the end of the book. All of the other characters aren’t as flushed out as Leena and Eileen but I was still able to care for them as the story went along.

My only minor complaint about this book was the romance. This is not a romance book, there is romance in some parts of it, but it is definitely not the main aspect of it. And even though I was glad that the main focus of the book was the personal growth and self-discovery of the two main characters I still wish that the romance aspect of the book was more developed because in the end I felt that some things were left unsaid.

Overall this book was delightful and extremely enjoyable. I was not disappointed by the author and I will for sure check out her other works. This book is emotional, lighthearted while at the same time dealing with serious topics and an overall pleasant experience.

Thanks so much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for allowing me read and review this book.
