Wasn't a huge fan of Rhiannon, so it made me really frustrated when

A kept wrecking people's lives/relationships for her.

Overall though, I loved the concept of the body switching and wish it would be explored further!

Because of the nature of the body switching, it covers a lot of different life scenarios, which includes a lot of possibly triggering situations.

Not all books need to have a thick plot, but to say this book has none would be an understatement. Unlikeable characters can be a good thing, but I just couldn't really find much that I liked about this book. It could be worse I guess? Just wasn't for me.
