An interesting concept with lots of twists and turns along the way! The story picked up quickly and I couldn’t put it down

A gripping read, albeit a bit unbelievable at times. The ending did disappoint me a little as I was expecting a lot more after the book as a whole. Good characters and a fascinating plot.

Wow! What a fantastic book. I’ve never read anything quite like this but I thoroughly enjoyed it! So much that I’d reread again so soon! A great story line. Definitely not conventional but it drew me in and I kept wanting to read to see what happens next

The characters are fab! You really get a sense of who they are as people and can understand each one of them and their own personalities

The twists at the end were brilliant and just kept coming! I’m looking forward to exploring more books by this author

1000 out of 10!

I have absolutely loved this book!

Sophia made for a very interesting villain, as we could always kind of feel that she is off in some way. The ending however left me a bit sad, cause technically nothing happened. Sophia got what she wanted, Adam lost all his balls and got back with Lorraine and Finn got to keep the best of both worlds to say. So essencially the last fight was for nothing, Elena lost all her spine.

But overall this was totally a 4 star book and i recommend it for the spooky season.

Well that was an interesting storyline an to say I was hooked is an understatement. I couldn’t stop myself so much so I had both the audio and the ebook on the go. It’s a bit of a different storyline which is always good. It has a well developed plot and characters that you will have all the feelings about. It moves at a steady pace and keeps you guessing but has many a twist thrown in for good measure. Loved this one and raging it’s taken me so long to get to it on my TBR list.

Thanks to Netgalley and Random House UK, Cornerstone for the opportunity to listen and review #TheSwitch

Thank you NetGalley for this advance reader copy in exchange for my free and honest Review. I must say that when I began reading this novel, I thought I had accidentally selected something from a more risqué genre that I needed to rethink. 😊 However, I continued reading, fortunately, and eventually discovered the plot had thickened into a more familiar setting. Amazing storyline that intrigued me, found me empathizing with the characters, and eventually wanting good to prevail. I won’t spoil the ending but I definitely recommend this book!

Grabbed me from the first page. The premise is a bit unbelievable but it kept me turning the pages. I enjoyed this book.

A very bizarre and far-fetched plot. but a strangely enjoyable read.
The twist was unexpected, the ending a little odd - that said I've never read anything like it and that's a good thing.
3 stars.

The Switch is a psychological thriller packed with wild twists, relationship drama, and an intriguing cast of characters. When Elena and Adam meet another couple, Sophia and Finn, during their stay at a new location, their lives quickly become intertwined. A game suggested by Sophia spirals into a web of secrets, lies, and new infatuations, revealing a completely different life than what they knew. The writing hooked me from the start, and although the story is outlandish, that's what makes it so captivating—every great thriller needs a touch of insanity! While the pacing slowed a bit in the second half, it wasn’t enough to dampen my interest, as I found myself constantly reaching for this book over others.

The premise upon which this was based felt a little far fetched, but the story was well-written and the plot tightly crafted. The storyline refers explicitly to a similar Roald Dahl storyline and is also has echoes of Patricia Highsmith’s Ripley novels. Interesting but slightly too contrived to be completely believable.

The Switch by Lily Samson is a delightful and heartwarming story that combines elements of romance, self-discovery, and humor. It truly has it all.

Samson's writing is both witty and evocative, painting vivid pictures of the worlds the characters inhabit. The dual POV of both the characters helps to understand the story more fully.

One of the best features of The Switch is its well-developed characters. Both leads are relatable and endearing, with distinct personalities that make their journeys both believable and enjoyable.

The plot is well-paced, balancing moments of lighthearted fun with deeper, more emotional scenes. Samson has navigated themes of identity, personal growth, and the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone.

The Switch by Lily Samson is a great pick for anyone looking for a feel-good story with relatable characters and an engaging plot. Highly recommended for fans of contemporary fiction and romantic comedies.

When new friends Elena and Sophia come up with the idea to switch partners for the night without their husband's knowing they have it all worked out. It's a way to get out of the rut they're both stuck in without having an affair but whose idea was the switch really, and can they possibly get away with it for a second or even third time? What happens when emotions start to affect this plan?

This was a fun read with a lot of twists I didn't see coming and some truly jaw dropping moments! 😱

Not all the characters are likeable but when you uncover more of their backstory you start to learn what's moulded them to be the way they are. The pace zips along and the multiple POV and timelines give more depth to the story. A great holiday read!

Never read this author.

But it gripped me from the first page to the last.

Will b looking for more books.

This is a very strange book with an odd concept. I can't believe that anyone would agree to a switch in real life, so this whole story seemed increasingly unrealistic throughout.

The author mentions the idea coming from a Roald Dahl book, but she also mentions in passing, the author Virgina Andrews, and I feel this story has also had some inspiration from 'flowers in the attic' which also contains incest between siblings.

I didn't enjoy the unrealistic feel of the story. The characters weren't particularly likeable, and I personally felt the ending was predictable. I had guessed all the twists well before they happened, which may be because I read a lot of this genre, but there was nothing surprising.

This has been sitting on my book shelf for a while and I now wish that I had read it sooner. I really enjoyed this dark, and at times far fetched domestic thriller. It’s the first time I’ve read anything by this author, but it definitely won’t be the last!

The good bits first. The descriptive prose was very good and set the scenes well. The characters were well drawn and interesting. The bad bits. The plot was unbelievable and the ending too obvious; I kept waiting for a twist that never arrived, which was a shame as overall I enjoyed the book.

A dark tale! Farfetched but an enjoyable read. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This had the makings of a great debut. The idea of couples swapping leads to lots of great potential storylines.

The characters were good, they were well written and the descriptions of the settings were also enjoyable.

My biggest problem with this is the ending. It was just completely unbelievable after a very enjoyable storyline.

Full of twists and turns. A fast paced book that I didn't know what was coming next!
A great read, definitely need to read the next book from this author.

A very fast paced and gripping read. It had twists that I couldn't predict. Overall, I did really enjoy the book.
