The Swap by Robyn Harding

SYNOPSIS :

Low Morrison is not your average teen. You could blame her hippie parents or her looming height or her dreary, isolated hometown on an island in the Pacific Northwest. But whatever the reason, Low just doesn’t fit in—and neither does Freya, an ethereal beauty and once-famous social media influencer who now owns the local pottery studio.

After signing up for a class, Low quickly falls under Freya’s spell. And Freya, buoyed by Low’s adoration, is compelled to share her darkest secrets and deepest desires. Finally, both feel a sense of belonging...that is, until Jamie walks through the studio door. Desperate for a baby, she and her husband have moved to the island hoping that the healthy environment will result in a pregnancy. Freya and Jamie become fast friends, as do their husbands, leaving Low alone once again.

Then one night, after a boozy dinner party, Freya suggests swapping partners. It should have been a harmless fling between consenting adults, one night of debauchery that they would put behind them, but instead, it upends their lives. And provides Low the perfect opportunity to unleash her growing resentment.

MY RATING : ⭐⭐⭐💫 (3.5)

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.
