I got really into the two main storylines and was rooting for the characters and their happiness! On the whole the characters felt believable and I loved the representation of the elderly!

The first third of the book was great - it was well-written, the pace was good, and it was funny and heartwarming. It was pretty predictable and cliched, but at that point, I was enjoying it so much that I didn't really care. I thought that the exploration of grief as a theme was well done, especially in how it affects the family members of those who have died - it was very sensitively written. There were also brief references to domestic violence that were also handled well, I thought.
Unfortunately, all of the above was nearly ruined for me by the author using a trope that I really dislike:
I also disliked how the author had the characters do things that I found ethically questionable, purely to advance the plot.
To sum up: The Switch is a novel that started off well but turned off this reader by using a nasty trope that authors should really stop using.
