I received an advanced reader copy of The Swap from Gallery Books via NetGalley, in return for my honest opinion. The Swap by Robyn Harding is a story about the pull of a toxic friendship. Low is an awkward teen with no friends- her demeanor and home life make her a social outcast. Freya has been shunned by her social media followers and is trying to figure out how she fits into her new life. Low starts taking pottery lessons from Freya and is instantly enraptured by her. Both are hard up for friends and quickly take a liking to each other. Jamie and her husband, Brian, have recently moved to town and are hoping this slower pace of life will help Jamie become pregnant. Jamie owns a store that sells Freyaโs pottery, soon Jamie, Freya and their husbands become friendly. One rambunctious night will change the marriage of both couples leaving everyone at odds. Recently spurned Low will stop at nothing to get her friendship with Freya back and soon finds herself becomes the middle-man between Freya and Jamie. This book just didnโt do it for me- the pace seemed to slow down in the second half of the book, but it could have been that I just wasnโt invested in any of the characters. The Swap is available today, Tuesday, June 23, 2020.
