Weirdly fast, no real hijinks while body swapped, it would have been a lightheartedway to lead into the darker events. 

Everything gets solved too quickly.
Rich family takes a girl from her mum with mental health needs by threatening social services -
2 years passes we find the rich family has helped the mum for last year, leaving her for a year with no support, and her children removed. 
No contact has been made with mother and daughter for two years or the siblings, one sibling going into care. Feels illegal, like it was written by a child with no research of legal system.
