The Switch by Beth O'Leary

THE SWITCH is the title of the soon-to-be released novel from Beth O'Leary, an author labeled “the new Jojo Moyes” by Cosmopolitan UK. This light, uplifting story is sure to please the many fans they share. At the center is Leena and her grandmother, Eileen.  Leena is burned out and heads to the rural English countryside to gain some perspective.  Eileen, on the other hand, is seeking new challenges and the “switch” seems like an ideal plan. Leena takes over her grandmother’s responsibilities and learns about dog walking, village committees, and local customs while Eileen meets a new man and then discovers a hidden admirer. There’s romance, comedy, and self-reflection all wrapped up in this easy-to-read, summer offering. Escape and enjoy! THE SWITCH received a starred review from Booklist and was a LibraryReads selection for August.
