If you could swap bodies with someone on demand, would you do it? That’s the premise behind Sarah Zachrich Jeng’s latest thriller. It’s Freaky Friday with the help of technology and with a definite edge. 
 
After a major fallout in college, Mary and Elizabeth parted ways, but Mary never quite got over what Elizabeth did to her. After years of planning and preparation, the opportunity to take her revenge appears in Mary’s mailbox. She can step into Elizabeth’s charmed, shining life, but that life may not be all it’s cracked up to be. 
 
It’s an interesting premise, but ultimately I found the two main characters to be unsympathetic. I guess I was rooting for them in theory as the story unfolded, but I didn’t really like them. 
 
I kept turning the pages on this one because I wanted to see how everything would end, but there are a lot of morally grey happenings in this book. 
 
And things got a bit overly dramatic for me. 
 
It sure was an interesting ride, though. 
 
I received an advance copy of the book from Berkley Publishing Group and NetGalley. All review opinions are my own.
