The Swap by Robyn Harding

4.0

The Swap is a thriller about manipulation and obsession, with a devastating ending. Low is a teenager when she first sees Freya, a beautiful artist. What Low doesn’t realize is that Freya is a user. She uses people, manipulating them to her advantage, and creating jealous feelings in people. Jamie is a friend of Freya’s - they meet when Freya brought her pottery pieces to Jamie’s gift shop to sell.
As Jamie and Freya grow closer, Freya suggests they swap partners. Jamie is horrified, but intrigued, by this idea.
What follows this night is sorrow and horror, with Freya continuing to be a master manipulator. As you read this book, the tension continues to build, you just know something awful is going to happen. However, I don’t think you will guess what actually does happen.
Well done. This book kept me equally interested and horrified as I read the depths of Freya’s manipulation and the obsessive nature of Low and Jamie over their feelings for Freya.

Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the copy of The Swap. My opinions are my own.
