Have you ever wanted to switch places or be in someone else’s shoes? In Switched by Jessica Wollman the two main characters, Willa and Laura, decide to switch places for four months. Willa Pogue enjoys being an heiress and goes to Fenwick, her snooty boarding school. Laura Melon is smart and cleans houses for the rich. Throughout the book Willa and Laura find out they look exactly alike and share similar interests. Wollman’s style or technique of writing is interesting because her voice s More...

OH MY GOD. THIS BOOK WAS HORRIBLE.
I stopped instantly at page 44 because it was killing me of how ridiculous this book is.
OMG. I cant even explain what I don't like because Im unbelievably speechless. I thought it was a horrible book. No Questions Asked.
I switched to another book, "The extraordinary lives of April, May and June" and its really good so far. But, "Switched" really ruined my mood for reading another book today. -.-

This book was kind of disappointing, especially since I'd put so much thought into how the story would be like ever since I read the storyline and heard of the title. But, like they all say, titles can be decieving. Originally, I thought this book would be something like The Princess and The Pauper, one my my favorite books, because the plot is similiar, but this just wasn't what I expected.

Jessica Wellman offered a completely new take on the classic story of the The Prince and the Pauper. This one was about a housekeeper and a socialite, both wanting a different life. I liked both the characters and the plot was intweresting.
A total happily ever after book.

'Twas okay. To echo all the other reviews on here...just okay. And yes, it was cute. But not fantastic and not a story I will probably ever think about again, or recommend. Honestly, I was kind of surprised I picked it up in the first place...thus, i can't say it was a disappointment. But I didn't hate it.

SWITCHED really choked me up at the end! I really felt for Laura - one of the girls who "Switched" - A little bit of The Parent Trap and Cinderella - though the characters are not related. I definitely found this to be an enjoyable, fast, and satisfying read!

I've had a string of good luck with the books I've read. I fell in love with the guy in this book. (I tend to do that with fictional characters... all of them EXCEPT THE STUPID TWILIGHT SERIES.. that's all. Just wanted to get that out)

Liked it. I always thought we had doppelgangers in the world, but in the same town? eeeh that must have been scary. Willa is like a total slob but she can word hard if she WANTS TO.. Laura.... she's okay too, too much of a worrier.

A bit of teenage fluff. The Prince and the Pauper only modern times and about girls. Not my normal cup of tea but a fun quick read. I was needing something light and easy and it filled the bill

It was a boring, Cinderella / Parent Trap story. I read it right to the end because I thought it might have a good ending. It did have a good lesson, though. But the story is not good at ALL, so my advice is to not read it.

What a talented author! The storytelling is effortless, and the challenges facing the characters are believable. Where is the sequel? This story deserves to be continued.

Laura cleans houses, and Willa is a rich girl who keeps getting kicked out of school. They could be twins! Of course, they meet, wish they had each other's lives, and trade places. And, unlike many of these stories, they really are happier in their new roles.
This is not a deep book, this is a fun teen girl story about following your dreams, whether they are to go to a great college, or to work on race cars for NASCAR. I read it in one quick gulp, and enjoyed the twist on a familiar story. More...

Another prince/pauper, rags-to-riches, identical strangers switching places type tale. Had enough unique bits to keep it interesting, but other than that...no earth-shattering "moral of the story" that I was really able to glean. A fluffy bit of fantasy that was easy to read.

This was a cute, quick read. Nothing earth-shattering but I enjoyed the story. I think teen girls would enjoy it as well.
