Harding's novels are fast-paced, original, and edgy and The Swap is no exception. Teenager Low is bewitched by local potter Freya in this obsessive, sexy thriller that keeps you guessing until the end. Full of drama and secrets!

I always hyperventilate a little when I start one of Robyn Harding's books as I know I'll be captivated from the beginning! And this one draws you in from the first chapter as we meet Low, a seventeen-year-old misfit who has a most unconventional family life. When the talented potter Freya befriends her and begins lessons for her, Low is bewitched by her wealthy, beautiful friend and her athlete husband. She is so sure they are best friends even though the woman is an adult that when Freya mentions she is meeting another friend for dinner, Low is immediately jealous and determined to come between them. What follows is a crazy couples' "swap" after magic mushrooms, and the plot thickens until things spin out of control! But who is actually IN control and who is being played? Major twists and turns until the shocking conclusion. Just plan on shirking any responsibilities until you've finished this on as it sucks you in and doesn't let go!

Robyn Harding has done it again in this gripping thriller. Low, a lonely teen takes interest in Freya, a pottery teacher.

Told in alternate POV’s between Freya, Low and Jaime, another friend of Freya’s.
Low and Jaime compete for Freya’s attention.
The big question- who is Freya really, and why is she so cagey.

This was a page turner. Once you read it, you won’t be able to put it down!

5 plus stars! Absolutely unputdownable! So original, so fun, and so chilling! Harding is one of those thriller writers that knows how to write a thriller with exact precision, it will leave you gasping, from holding breath, and covered in chills! I’ve not yet read THE PARTY, but will start it soon, because after reading THE SWAP I can’t even say which is my favorite since all are so original, chilling, thrilling, and shocking! Prepare for whiplash, as you read this tantalizing tale of deception! Beware, most are not worth trusting, but you’ll soon find out just which one is the most devious is all, if there’s a way to really tell? Highly, highly recommend!
Will make sure I buzz it up on all the different platforms!
