The Switch, Book Review: Beth O'Leary's feisty charmer
The Switch Book Review. This is a book to turn to when you need something to smile about. The Switch's feisty female leads and elderly antics left me grinning from ear to ear.. Some context. I loved Beth O'Leary's debut novel The Flatshare - it was truly something special. So I had no idea how she would even come close to conjuring up that same magic mix of story/characters/heart a ...

Book Review: 'The Switch' by Beth O'Leary
Since Beth O'Leary's The Flatshare made me cry happy tears, I should've known her next book, The Switch, would do the same. It really got me *right* in the feels. Plot: Leena and her grandmother, Eileen, are both feeling majorly dissatisfied with their lives and routines, and decide to do something drastic — switch 'lives' for two ...
The Switch
The Switch is a perfect, light-hearted story to disappear into. I had a hard time putting this book down and ended up reading it in little under a day! If you're a fan of Sophie Kinsella or Josie Silver, The Switch is an ideal read to whisk yourself away and will leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy.
Book Review: The Switch by Beth O'Leary
Review. The Switch is a funny and lovely tale about finding yourself and even romance at any age. Set in contrasting locations with related women in very different times of their lives, The Switch is whimsical while feeling plausible. The Cotton women (Leena, her mother and her grandmother) are still grieving loss of her sister, a loss that has ...
Book Marks reviews of The Switch by Beth O'Leary
Eileen is a triumph - a vibrant romantic lead rather than a dotty knitter played for laughs ... O'Leary excels at good-hearted wit ...

The Switch Book Review
REVIEW: Beth O'Leary seems to have carved out quite a nice niche for herself with her two recent "real estate romance" novels. In 2019's The Flat Share, the two main characters time-shared an apartment, and in 2020's The Switch, Leena and Eileen Cotton swap houses.Based on these two listings, I'll be up for anything O'Leary puts on the market.

Book Review: The Switch
Review by Chris Bunton. The Switch is a book which was first published in 1978 by Elmore Leonard. And I'll just be honest. I think I found my new favorite crime writer.
