The Switch by Sandra Brown
4.0
So, this is my first Sandra Brown book I've ever read. WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD, so don't keep reading if you don't want to know anything that happens.
I recently watched a movie on Amazon that happened to be one of her books turned into a movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it, so I thought I'd try reading one of her books. My husband picked it up for me, so I didn't ever read the blurb. Once I did, it sounded great. The story pulled me in right away. About, oh, maybe halfway through, I peeked at the ending (because I really wanted to know if Melina and Chief ended up together because I love my happy endings), so I was really shocked when it's not Melina through the entire book but Gillian. Super cool twist, I have to admit. I kept reading, but now knowing it was Gillian, I wasn't a fan of her. I had hoped she'd redeem herself by the end, but she didn't. I get why she lied about who she was to the police and stuff. She was trying to protect herself. But to keep lying to Chief...not cool. She even slept with him as Melina. It really bugged me. So, while I enjoyed the story and it kept me engaged, I was not a fan of the heroine.
