One of the things I adore most about Beth O’Leary is her writing style , now couple that with a great narration and you have a fantastic audio book which is pleasant and fun to listen too.. Thus book is heartwarming and filled with humor also touching on friendship and family . Truly delightful

Another fun, light read from Beth O'Leary! The Switch is a story of the relationship between grandmother & granddaughter, switching places to help each other out. Beautifully written, with well-rounded characters and a hint of romance (though definitely not the focal-point), I highly recommend The Switch!

Eileen is sick of being 79.
Leena's tired of life in her twenties.
Maybe it's time they swapped places...

I loved the idea of the book and the story lived up to my expectations. Both Eileen and Leena were a joy to meet and spend time with and I loved how they embraced the swap and threw themselves into the other's life and loves.

The ending was a little bit too predictable for my taste, but a delight nevertheless.

I loved listening to this! The narrators were perfect! I love the age difference and who doesn't love a happily ever after?

This book was very sweet and I had fun reading it. I think swapping lives with an elder is something I haven't really read before it was great to read about the challenges each character faced and the different perspectives they gained by switching places.

This is a hard book to rate. Did I enjoy the story. Sure? Did the narrator ruin the experience for me? Yes, absolutely.
This book actually had two separate narrators. It was the older narrator that I had a VERY hard time listening to. As a matter of fact, I had to stop listening. (I could hear her each time she shallowed.) *shudder*
Anyway, I ended up purchasing the book so I could finish without the audiobook.

This book was SO cute. It took a bit for Eileen to grow on me, but once she did I loved both story lines. I'm a sucker for a fish out of water story, so this being two in one was right up my alley. I loved that both women learned about themselves and their experiences weren't exactly what they thought. I enjoyed the character development of all the characters, and liked the alternate POV's. All in all, a really fun book that I would recommend!

This is my second Beth O'Leary novel and while I enjoyed The Flatshare, The Switch was even better! The idea of a granddaughter/grandmother switch was so intriguing and the completely book delivered. Leena and Eileen were so endearing and it just felt so genuine. This is a book that I think I will pick up again, which I NEVER do. I strive to be Eileen! I am looking forward to more books by Beth O'Leary, she does a great job at writing different types of relationships that feel true.

Leena and her grandmother, Eileen, decide to try a two-month swap. Between the home swapping and the British narration, this reminded me a lot of the movie The Holiday. I loved the sweet story and the narration made this so easy to listen to.

This is a fun read. If you are looking for something that is not too deep and a good escape from the real world. this is your book. Beth O'Leary has a fun twist on the switching of lives. I enjoyed this book as my escape from my crazy busy life. Thanks for a fun read.

The Switch ~ Beth O'Leary 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Rom-Com
I loved this book so much. This is the author of The Flatshare, which was equally amazing. This gist: Grandma Eileen and her Granddaughter Leena swap homes/locales for 2 months. 79 year-old Eileen heads to London to try some internet dating and Leena takes over at Grandma Eileen's place while also trying to mend a relationship with her mother and deal with her lasting grief from her sisters death a year ago. Chaos and hilarity ensue.
This book was fantastic. O'Leary pulls you into the story and gives you characters you fall in love with. Are they logical situations... no. But I don't want logic, O'Leary gives you hope, funny banter, belly laughs. and tugs at those heartstrings. She is my go-to rom-com author. And she knocked this one right out of the park.

This book matches the cover well, it's cute and heartwarming. The story is cute and I love how Lina and her grandmother both get out of their comfort zone to find friends. Really interesting and adorable premise.

The narration was distracting and a bit sloppy. I think it really took away from the book overall.

I really enjoyed the actual story, The Switch, but sadly I dislike the audio book. The characters didn't feel real to me and the narration of Eileen utterly annoying. The smacking slurpy sounds were awful!

This was an unexpectedly heartwarming book - a bit like The Holiday with a twist. I found it so refreshing to read about an older woman looking for love & that romantic relationships weren't the entire focus of this book!

Thank you at NetGallery and the publisher for making this book available for me to listen to as an audiobook.

My love for this book is immeasurable!

What started as a quite slow book, turned into a can't stop listening, listening while I'm supposed to be working, book.

The characters are absolutely lovable but more important absolutely and totally realistic!

The chemistry between all the characters made this a laugh out loud read, with strangers giving me funny looks.
But I didn't care because I was so absolutely drawn into Leena and Eileen's lives.

A story about never being too old or young to try something new. A story about familial relationships, but also about love and how important it can be in our lives. A story that made me be kinder to old people and also kinder to myself and my struggles.

A definite read for people who need a good Rom-Com, but also a story about, forgiveness, love and second chances at starting over in life and love.

I would 100% recommend this to any person who asks.

Such a fun, heartwarming and adorable book. This made me want to hug my grandmother and tell her how much she means to me! While slightly predicable, this was a quick read and such a cute premise.

Super cute story :) I especially liked how both Lina and her grandmother get out of their comfort zone, and how they make lasting friendships with people from a completely different age (Lina with people her grandma’s age, her grandma with people Lina’s age).

The Switch is a fun, relatable audiobook with interesting and sweet protagonists the reader wants to befriend. The narration is excellent and the story has good pacing. The ending was satisfying and I would recommend this book to lovers of British fiction..

Loved this book!!!! Beth O'Leary is such a good author and I find myself completely drawn into her stories and into the characters.

I absolutely ADORED this story. Beth O'Leary is now solidified as one of my favourite authors. I love her humour and the charaters she creates.

The narration of this audiobook was excellent. There's something about hearing O'Leary's words spoken with the British accent and intonation that they're meant to be said it that made it all the more hilarious.

I love stories with characters from multiple generations that feel heartwarming and hilarious at once and The Switch absolutely delivered that. I can't wait for O'Leary's next release later this year.
