The Switch A Novel by Beth O'Leary

Book Excerpt:

"When overachiever Leena Cotton is ordered to take a two-month sabbatical after blowing a big presentation at work, she escapes to her grandmother Eileen's house for some long-overdue rest.

Eileen is newly single and about to turn eighty. She'd like a second chance at love, but her tiny Yorkshire village doesn't offer many eligible gentlemen.

So they decide to try a two-month swap.

Eileen will live in London and look for love. She'll take Leena's flat, and learn all about casual dating, swiping right, and city neighbors. Meanwhile, Leena will look after everything in rural Yorkshire: Eileen's sweet cottage and garden, her idyllic, quiet village, and her little neighborhood projects.

But stepping into one another's shoes proves more difficult than either of them expected. Will swapping lives help Eileen and Leena find themselves…and maybe even find true love? In Beth O'Leary's The Switch, it's never too late to change everything....or to find yourself."

Review:

"The Switch" by Beth O'Leary

My Speculation:

I loved this idea that this author gives so well to the readers the switching of the daughter [Leena] and the 79-year-old grandmother [Eileen]! Also, there was the mother that will be of interest in this read. The story was one sweet, fun, and charming storyline read that touched a little on the more substantial topic like sadness and grief, community, and family. Some quirky characters in a small town community setting that will keep one's interest in the read. Be ready for a little bit of romance where each of the women will begin to take charge of their own life. How will this all turn out? Well, this is where I say you will have to pick up "The Switch" to find out.

I enjoyed the flow of the read as these two narrators did an excellent job with there deliverance of the story making it quite enjoyable to listen. Would I recommend it? YES!
