The Date Swap by Lydia Westing

fast-paced

2.0

This was not the greatest. It had a lot of *potential* but it fell so short. My #1 complaint was that (especially as a listener of the audiobook) was this could have GREATLY benefitted from specifically titles “Lyla” and “Daniel” chapters. It would switch perspectives and I’d get confused because it didn’t state who was the narrator and there was only one female narrator. For as different as the characters were described as being, it was not easy to differentiate between the two. The romance-y feelings that Daniel starts to have honestly felt like they came out of nowhere. So did Lyla’s but it was less annoying. Both of the mains both felt very flat and so did a lot of the side characters. I could go on about things I didn’t like but I’m going to quit while I’m ahead. 

TL;DR - Fake dating is my FAVORITE but this was not.
