BookAddict ✒ La Crimson Femme's Reviews > Switch

I never know what to expect from a Ms. Hart book. Her mind takes odd twists and turns and her endings aren't always what I wanted. It's not that she doesn't provide HEA or HFN endings, it's more, the endings are not what I anticipated or wanted for the characters. This is the second book in a row where the main character ended up in a place I wasn't expecting. Ms. Hart likes to throw curve balls, that's all I can determine.

In Switch, a cleverly titled novel, Paige starts out wanting a brand new start. As we learn more about her past, we can understand how her self perception is a bit skewed. This book focuses on her self discovery and opens her eyes to see herself in a different light. Watching Paige transform from a girl who wants to be told what to do into a woman who can be true to herself is oddly reassuring. It's reassuring because the basics of this storyline holds true for so many women. Women who don't know their own minds and who have been dealt a raw hand. While nothing malicious occurred in her past, Paige is still slightly damaged goods and wants to recover on her own. Against current culture of popping pills, reading self help books and going to therapy, Paige works through her own issues. With a little help from a friend, she's able to change her self perception and move on to a better life. While she ended up with a man that I wasn't rooting for, at least it is the one she wanted in the end. I would be interested to see if there is a second book for the other man, because he sure was attractive in many ways.
