The Switch by Beth O'Leary
4.0
The Switch was my first Beth O'Leary book and I can see why she is so popular. I enjoyed this story more than I thought I would.
While there are a few pieces of plot that I could have predicted, part of the reason I love romcoms so much, I still enjoyed the journey.
I really liked Elieen's story more than I thought I would. I think older characters are so often overlooked or typecast that their stories can run together. I loved her adventure and finding herself. I loved how she changed the perception of older adults to Lena's friends. I think her story added a great uniqueness to the story.
I did enjoy Lena's story arch as well - it just was a bit more predictable than Elieen's. But I really love when an already strong female character finds new ways to draw even more strength - especially from avenues she did not expect to find it.
I listened to the audio of The Switch and thought it was well narrated. I was able to follow along quite well and even with a lot of characters, was able to keep track.
I would definitely recommend this book - print or audio.
