About this listen
In this riveting tale that 'will keep you on your toes until the very end' (HelloGiggles), two couples embark on a toxic relationship after a night of sexual shenanigans, unaware of the manipulative teenager with an explosive secret at the center of it all. From the bestselling author of The Party.
Low Morrison is not your average teen. You could blame her hippie parents or her dreary, isolated island hometown. Whatever the reason, Low just doesn’t fit in—and neither does newcomer Freya, an ethereal beauty and once-famous social media influencer.
After signing up for Freya’s pottery class, Low quickly falls under her spell. Buoyed by Low’s adoration, Freya is compelled to share her darkest secrets and deepest desires. Finally, Low feels a sense of belonging ... until Jamie walks through the studio door. Freya, Jamie and their husbands become fast friends, leaving Low alone once again.
Then one night, after a boozy dinner party, Freya suggests swapping partners. It should have been a harmless fling between consenting adults, but instead, it upends their lives.
And provides Low with the perfect opportunity to unleash her growing resentment.
‘Harding has outdone herself with The Swap. This is a provocative, edgy thriller. Just when you think you’ve got a handle on it … you don’t.’ Samantha Downing, author of My Lovely Wife
'Gripping from the first line, The Swap is a wickedly delicious, addictive, utterly compelling read about obsession, toxic relationships, and dangerous secrets. I devoured every dark, twisted word until the last explosive scene. An absolute must-read, this suspense will shock and rivet readers through each masterful page.' Samantha M. Bailey, bestselling author of Woman on the Edge
'Harding conjures a dark, inescapable feeling of intimidation on [s] remote island astir with gossip and lies . . . [Her] tale will please readers who enjoy delving into the details of a character’s personality and motivations, considering how past and present choices shape the future, and how private actions in a relationship are different from public displays.' Booklist

Gripping tale of narcissism and friendship between outsides in a small town
In a small town where locals can be outsiders and newcomers seek new friendships, the environment for narcissism to flourish is relatively fertile.
Infatuation, desire, manipulation, friendship, hate, disappointment and love are tangled together around the central characters where The Swap signals the beginning of the final outcome.
The main characters all have their flaws, their own insecurities, desires and ambitions. The delivery of the story from their perspectives creates a web of detail and understanding for the listener.
It’s very easy to dislike the antagonist in the story, especially as we don’t get her perspective, but reflection after listening may soften one’s opinion in relation to mental health issues where unacceptable behaviour is not addressed and allowed to culminate in such a way.
An intriguing and addictive listen.

Unexpected find
I got caught up in these characters after becoming accustomed to the first person narration, and found it difficult to stop listening. Three days with this book playing at every possible moment. The raw emotions, complex characters and storyline were engaging and addictive. I recommend to those who like depth of character.

This is what Narcissism looks like!
This was a complex tale that tells a a story of how narcissists can manipulate and damage others so terribly. There are lots of personalities described and a web of lives that are influenced and changed forever. Intoxicating and so enjoyable....kept me interested till the end. A good read.
