The Switch
by Beth O'Leary
I was itching to read The Switch because I had seen quite a few mentions of it on Bookstagram and I wanted in on the action. I had little idea what it was about other than it was the must-read comedy of the moment.
Whilst I enjoyed the read, I wasn't overly in love with it. The plot tells the tale of how an overworked Leena swaps homes and lives with her 80-year-old grandmother. During the tale they lot a lot about themselves and each other as they indulge in things they would never give a second thought in their normal day-to-day meanderings.
There is a generous sprinkling of comedy, a little sauciness, a lot of predictability and some unexpected twists.
This book would appeal to late teens/ twenty-somethings looking for a light read, perhaps on the beach or as part of their daily commute.
Overall, I give this book a 4/5 stars. It has wit and charm. It provides the comedy that it promises . There are a few different storylines that develop amongst a varied cast. SOme characters are plain, whilst others stand out as being quite modern and different. The overall style is easy and carefree making the book easy to read in one sitting.
I am unlikely to purchase this book because it's the type of story that personally I think you read once and pass it on. I would expect to find this in one of these modern community free libraries or at the train station exchange.
