Switcheroo by Jamie Raab, Olivia Goldsmith

This book was...interesting to say the least. When Sylvie finds out that her husband is having an affair with a woman who looks like a younger version of her, she decides they should switch places. She wants the passion that Bob gives to his mistress while the mistress wants the love and security Bob gives to Sylvie.
For one, you could definitely tell this book is dated. When Sylvie's mother finds out about the affair, she says that Sylvie and Bob should just work out their issues without divorce. That men are not entirely human, and that their *cough* heads *cough* and their brains are not connected and that one part is not responsible for the actions of the other. While Sylvie doesn't agree with this viewpoint, it was a constant idea throughout the book, and that bothered me a bit. Everyone in the book seemed to have a history with cheating, and it seemed like Sylvie was being told to just accept what happened instead of getting revenge or a divorce.
The ending was great though. I laughed, I stressed, and I smiled. Parts of it seemed rushed and seemed to make little sense, but the main areas of the plot were covered. Overall, this was a good, memorable read, and I'm glad I picked it up.
