cyan_bookworm 's review for:
The Swap
by Robyn Harding
I was really looking forward to reading this, my first Robyn Harding novel, as there were many great reviews. Sadly, it didn't live up to my expectations. I nearly didn't bother finishing it, but kept going hoping that the resolution would be worth the time. I found the conclusion unsatisfactory and implausible. I didn't enjoy the prose and it was quite repetitive. None of the characters were likeable or redemptive which is perhaps why I struggled. It was also marketed differently to what I expected it to be which also felt disingenuous. I was excited when it became available at my local library and started reading straight away, I'm grateful that I was able to return it and didn't spend any money on it which is sad because I was eyeing off Harding's other titles but I'm unsure if I will pick up another one at this stage
