A review by bookstobarbellsbabe
The Swap by Robyn Harding

3.0

Low Morrison is not your average teen. So many things in her life can contribute to that. Hippie parents, looming height, or her secluded hometown. She just doesn’t fit.

So, when she signs up for a pottery class with the beautiful , once-famous Freya, it won’t be too bad, right ?

Freya and Low quickly develop a friendship. Maybe you would say , an unhealthy adoration of Freya on Low, almost as she falls in love with Freya. Freya then becomes friends with Jamie and her husband, as does Freya’s husband, and once again Low doesn’t fit.

After a drunken night with the adults that result in swapping partners, Freya and Jamie are faced with some life changing choices. But that also gives the jealous Low a perfect chance to showcase her bitterness.

This book had me alternating between 3 and 4 stars, so I ultimately decided on 3.5 stars. It’s gives you everything! Thrilling, mystery, sex… it actually reads very fast paced and I did enjoy the ending, which I did not see coming. Low’s actions couldn’t have me turning the pages fast enough and me thinking…”What’s going to happen next?”

You know, when you see a car accident, and you can’t just look away? That’s what this psychological thriller was. In the end, I did truly enjoy it.
