The Swap

Robyn Harding

3.52 AVERAGE


This was such a crazy story! I loved the pacing and the short chapters. I would definitely recommend it as a quick read!

Just finished, maybe 4 or 5 out of 5 stars? I need to digest it a little lol

I really enjoyed this one. These woman were the perfect amount of crazy for me and it kept me completely invested in this story. I was pleasantly surprised that the audio was a full cast and it made the book that much better. The ending to this book was perfection for me and just made me like the book that much more. A great Domestic thriller is definitely recommend

This was wild. Not necessarily good, but wild.

I hate all of the characters.

Everyone in this book is an a$$hole and I love it.

I kept going back and forth between liking and loathing the three main female leads. But what I do know is that this was a thoroughly enjoyable read that hooked me in right from the beginning. I also appreciate the social commentary about Instagram and the influencer lifestyle. The ending was definitely not what I'd expected though I wouldn't have minded more drama

Compelling domestic suspense.

This was the first Robyn Harding book I have read and wow what a wild ride. This book sucked me in right from the start. I was hooked. I couldn’t put it down. The title of this book intrigued me....I had an idea it was about a partner swap but little did I know the plot was going to dig into the negative side of the social media influencing world, or the main characters dark obsession with her friend. I needed a book like this to get me out of my reading slump and now I will be hunting down every book this author has written. If you enjoy thrilling suspense this novel is for you. You won’t be disappointed!

I received a copy of this book from Galley/Scott Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you to Scout Press/ Gallery Books for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review! It will be released on June 23!

Synopsis: Low Morrison is an awkward teen, a loner by most standards. Enter Freya, the one-time instagram influencer and her ex hockey player husband Max. Low immediately signs up for pottery classes with Freya, leading her to become obsessed with her new and only friend. As they get closer and learn each other's deepest secrets, their friendship is interrupted by Jamie and her husband Brian, who are both desperate for a baby. After a drug-induced couples dinner, they end up having a Swap with each other’s spouses which immediately cause their world to unravel. This all leads Low to be on the sidelines watching - and she will do anything to be back in Freya’s good graces.

My Review:⭐️⭐⭐⭐ / 5 stars

This thriller made my jaw drop. The evident toxic relationships between Freya and Low, Freya and her husband, even Freya with Jamie and her supposed best friend Jamie. It was clear she was the common denominator of destruction in everyone’s lives, but there was also a magnetism to her turmoil and abuse. She is incredibly manipulative throughout - and as you keep reading, you see the impact her behavior causes on others. Low is such an interesting character, because you want to sympathize with her, but she is ungrateful and toxic herself. You find yourself cringing and it is an incredibly fast paced read and highly recommended.

WOW! is all I can say about this book. It was fast paced and very intense thriller.

I struggled a little bit in the beginning trying to figure out how this book will come together as there's a lot going on and there are quite a few perspectives through out. My advice: don't spend too much time trying to figure it out because you'll probably be wrong!! At the end, it comes together and Robyn Harding does a really great job of bringing together all the stories and characters. To be honest, I'm not sure if I even had a favourite character I was rooting for....I definitely HATED each one of them at certain times in the book. I guess it's a good thing?

Great book!
