I listened to this book audio format. Phenomenal voice acting by Alison Steadman and Daisy Edgar-Jones in Beth O'Leary's The Switch. An English told version of the American film Freaky Friday, Eileen and Lena need a new change of pace after the devastating family loss of Carla, Leena's sister and Eileen's granddaughter. After a work breakdown puts Leena on a forced Leave of Absence, she heads to the country to live at her grandmother's house while Eileen heads to London to Leena's flat to find love and experience the big city. With wit, humor, family drama and a highly accurate portrayal of the grief journey, I would love to see The Switch on the big screen.

"You were healing, you're still healing, you'll maybe always be healing and that's okay. It'll just be a part of what makes you... you."

And, that epilogue!!!

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to enjoy this audiobook!
