SWITCHED is a standalone story that tells you how Israel was switched at birth, the trials and tribulations he's faced and is still facing, plus the friendships that have helped him through dark days.

Not only do you get a solidly written piece of work, but you also see the inner dynamics not only of Iz's family but also his friends. I was on tenterhooks for him and Sam to get together, and am so thankful for Donna's words of advice that gave him the push he needed. I was so prepared to hate Iz's family and yet, I couldn't. Not once I knew their story too. I loved that!

I was completely hooked by this story, totally enthralled. I read it in one sitting, not prepared to let anything get in my way. ALL of the characters in here are wonderful, and I would love to see more of Connor, Jamie, and Millsy! The Spongebob Squarepants part killed me as my youngest has just been binge-watching this so I had the song in my head.

Oh, man! If I have one piece of advice for you, it would be this - don't read this book if you are feeling emotional. It is gorgeous, fun, sexy, and so many goddamned feelings!!! 'Ignore my tears, I'm a crier!' Honestly? I'm struggling here to put into words how this book made me feel.

Do I recommend it? What the *** do you think?! 😍

Every wanna be memoirist needs this book

I read this book in a couple of days and found it to be incredibly helpful. I wrote memoir for my dissertation in creative writing at university and was looking for some guidelines and tools to assist me, this book has it all. Barrington takes the reader step by step through the process of memoir writing and highlights the do's and dont's in each informative chapter. Her greatest piece of advice is to read, read, read as many memoirs as possible prior to the task. This book is not for everyone, after all not everyone wants to write a memoir, but for me, the book did its job and will be a very useful tool. I would recommend this to all aspiring memoirists.

Love by accidental meeting... is there anything better? (0 more)

Poppy, the main character, is a bit of a ditz. (0 more)

Fun and serious when you don't expect it.

Contains spoilers, click to show

One the same day Poppy looses both her cell phone and her engagement ring... then she finds a phone laying about and adopts it as her own. The owner of the phone, Sam, is not happy when Poppy does not return the phone. He is even less thrilled when Poppy starts reading his messages and offering her advice on his personal life. Sam, in turn, points out that maybe Poppy's fiance is not the best match for her. Sam and Poppy end up invested in each other's lives, but will either of them admit how each feels about the other? The scene in the woods had so much tension, I needed three cold showers....

Tips for reading this book:

1) remove annoying people from your space that disturb you else you may accidentally feel empathy to a moon caste demon who is prejudice against humans.

2) start reading in the morning (not 6pm like me) because there is no point which you can put the book down and the need to sleep is an annoying inteference.

3)ensure reading nest is stocked with fluid and snacks as per 2) there is no point you want to put book down. It does not stop. the action. The love. The horror. The hope. The racing hearts. The fire. No stop. You will not want to stop.

4) have tissues. It is a bittersweet story.

5) you are strong and wonderful and beautiful. Listen to Natasha's advice at the front of the book.
