The Swap
by Robyn Harding
The Swap tells the story of Low, Jamie and Freya, three different women with very different lives, and how they intersect. After a night of partying, two best friends decide to swap partners for the night. What they thought would be a night of fun ends up resulting in a life-altering secret.
This was a quick read although I do feel like it ended up being more of a domestic thriller than I expected, and as such the story dragged on a bit before the action began.
I also found the structure of the story a bit distracting, as it jumps between several different characters for the narration. Because the main story is focused on Low & Jamie, I think it would read better from their perspective only instead of including their husbands narration which I didn't feel added to the story. We didn't get narration from Freya at all, however I think it might have been interesting to see things from her perspective.
Overall I was satisfied with the ending (definitely not what I expected coming into it!) and look forward to reading more of Harding's books after enjoying The Party and Her Pretty Face.
