SWITCH – I sit here staring at my computer screen, a little dumbfounded after just finishing, Switch. This is the first Megan Hart book that I didn’t really get – I just didn’t get it. I mean, I’m reading the story and I can see Harts style of writing – its real and deep – but at the same time I just didn’t feel it had much direction.
Paige loves her stationary, not just any plain old paper, we’re talking fancy stuff. One day she finds a card and envelope that’s been misplaced into her mail by accident, and although she knows it wrong to read it she cannot help herself. What Paige finds is a note with instructions – she reads these instructions then hastily puts the mail in the correct slot. Paige follows the instructions anyway.
Soon these instructions become more of a regular occurrence, always being placed in her box my mistake – Paige always reading them, following the instructions and placing the card back in its rightful place. Some instructions simple, some erotic.
Surrounding this story line are the relationships in Paige’s life, he ex – husband, her sexy neighbour, her work life, family and her friends. Some of these story lines were thoughtful and different but the story just didn’t seem to have much more than that. I understand the story was about Paige’s self development and empowerment but it just didn’t flow like a usual Hart story.
There were a lot of unanswered questions in the book – I wanted to know more about Paige and Austin’s divorce, it’s touched on but if what I’m thinking is the explanation then it was not justified. I wanted to know what the significance of Paul, her boss – was in the story. And what I really wanted to know was what happened to Eric.
There wasn’t as much Erotica per say as usual, and would even say that this doesn’t fall into the erotica category. The sex scenes were few and far between with more self pleasure than coupling.
But I will say on the other hand that I was kept guessing for most of the book – who was writing these instructions? Who would Paige turn to in the end? Would she fuck her boss?
It was interesting enough to keep me entertained and to keep reading it until the end, but I cant say it’s a keeper.

There has been up and down reviews about it, but Hart has never let me down before....
It was not what I expected at all, very different story, but I enjoyed it.
Thanks for a review ;)The novel sounds interesting.Now just need the gulls to pick it up and read it. Lol
Babe, I would read some of her other stuff first if u haven't already.
Ooooh! That doesn't sound interesting LOL! I will put this one on hold =)
I don't know how to explain it. It was still all Hart, but just when I put it up next to her other legendary books, it doesn't really compare
My first read of hers and probably my last. This is one of the worst books I've ever wasted my hours reading. The author certainly does not know how to end a story or fulfill the readers remaining questions. Awful book.
I agree that it left unanswered questions. Not one of her books that I would read again.
I wanted to know more about their divorce, too. But I had it pegged who had sent the original note. Too much unanswered... Agreed. But still, my heart ached for Austin, and he kept me reading...I had to know more!!
I have been a Megan Hart fan for awhile but this was a DNF for me. I felt the same way. It just didn't make a lot of sense and I just couldn't finish it.
I feel the same way! I mean Miriam wrote the original notes right? But did she have Ari put them in the wrong mail slot on purpose bc Miriam obviously knew at the end why Paige was there. But like you I want to know what happened to Eric!
