Leena Cotton is still grieving the death of her sister when she is ordered to take a two-month break from work. Work has been the only thing keeping her going, so she is at a loss of what to do for two months. Leena's grandmother, Eileen Cotton, has been struggling ever since her husband left her for another woman. They come up with a brilliant plan, they are going to swap lives for two months. Leena is going to leave the city and live in her grandmother's quaint little hamlet for two months. And Eileen is going to stay in Leena's London flat for two months and dip her toe into the senior dating scene. For two months the two Eileen's live a life unlike one they had ever experienced. Will both of them be able to go back to their normal lives after The Switch?
The Switch was another audiobook that I was able to listen to thanks to NetGalley. The book is told in two different voices, Leena's and Eileen's. Two different narrators read the book and it was the narration that made for a truly delightful listening experience. Leena is definitely a stressed-out Type-A kind of person. I am glad that she got the break she needed to grieve and to gain some perspective. Eileen was a fun character because she is in that "no-filter" stage of life. The Switch doesn't have any shocking reveals, but it is quite a satisfying conclusion. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS. -
Bottom Line - The Switch is what I would call a "feel-good" novel. The characters are sweet and interesting. The story is engaging and satisfying. All necessary of a great book.
