“You were healing. You’re still healing. You’ll maybe always be healing. And that’s OK. It’ll just be part of what makes you you.”
“We don’t have any good words for talking about death – they’re all too small.”
“Is it really an adventure if you don't make at least one ill-advised decision?”
I thought The Switch was going to be a bit cliche with an over-focus on humour, but it ended up being a deeper story than that. There were plenty of laughs, development of relationships (both for the positive and the negative), and just enough romance. Sometimes life gets in the way of life. Through grief into the mix and it gets even more complicated. Luckily both Leena and Eileen managed to navigate it all and head off on their next adventure.

This is genuinely a nice little read. I really appreciated the intergenerational friendships and strengthening of familial bonds. I know this is supposed to be geared more as romance, and there is romance, but ultimately the romance was secondary for me because I loved seeing the friendships more.

I was in the mood for something funny and easy to read (listen to) and this really fit what I was looking for!! A wonderful and entertaining storyline with hilarious, relatable characters. I love books with characters I can look to as role models or inspirations, especially because of the way they deal with the their own flaws.
I enjoyed the light romantic plot line that wasn’t overly erotic or graphic. Now, the book isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, there is conflict and sadness and grief, but it’s dealt with in humorous, wholesome and heartwarming ways.
