 A NICE SWITCH.

I have never read this author before so I had no idea what I was getting into. I thought this was a quirky contemporary that had some added murder mystery dynamics that made for a good and quick read.

I absolutely loved the banter between the two main characters. It made me snicker multiple times. As someone who doesn’t love the one night stand trope I liked how this was approached for the book. It’s clever and on the lighter side too.

I wasn’t quite sure why there was a third POV in here and it kind of took me out of the story and didn’t feel necessary. And I was hoping for more romance rather than mystery. This was at least a fresh vibe for me and that made it an overall delight.

Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: low-moderate
- Romance: 2-3 fade to black
- Violence: low
- Trigger/Content Warnings: murder
