The Switch
by Beth O'Leary

The Switch is a complete joy; charming and heartwarming!
Beth O’Leary has solidified herself as an auto-buy author for me with her beautiful stories full of wit and whimsy and eliciting so much emotion. I went into this book hoping that I’d enjoy it as much as her previous one, The Flatshare, and it hit the mark!
The premise of The Switch is a lot of fun and really refreshing. The story is told in the dual POVs of Leena and Eileen; a hard working, career driven Londoner and her spunky, single, small town grandmother. I absolutely loved both points of view and seeing how each character found more of themselves through their swap.
One of the things I appreciated most were the connections each character made with each others’ friends. Watching those friendships grow completely warmed my heart!
The narration for this audiobook is perfection! I felt like the voices of Alison Steadman and Daisy Edgar-Jones were really well-suited for their characters, helping to evoke more emotion as I listened.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed The Switch and highly recommend the audiobook, as well. Beth O’Leary has a gift, and I cannot wait for her next release.
