発行者による作品情報
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 USA TODAY bestselling author of The Party.
Low Morrison is not your average teen. You could blame her hippie parents or her dreary, isolated hometown on an island in the Pacific Northwest. But whatever the reason, Low just doesn’t fit in—and neither does Freya, an ethereal beauty and once-famous social media influencer who now owns the local pottery studio.
After signing up for a class, Low quickly falls under Freya’s spell. And Freya, buoyed by Low’s adoration, is compelled to share her darkest secrets and deepest desires. Finally, both feel a sense of belonging...that is, until Jamie walks through the studio door. Desperate for a baby, she and her husband have moved to the island hoping that the healthy environment will result in a pregnancy. Freya and Jamie become fast friends, as do their husbands, 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, one night of debauchery that they would put behind them, but instead, it upends their lives. And provides Low the perfect opportunity to unleash her growing resentment.
An “explosive, sexy, and completely absorbing” (Kate Moretti, New York Times bestselling author) thriller, The Swap is perfect for fans of Megan Miranda and Lisa Jewell.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lonely, awkward high school senior Low Morrison, one of the leads in this convincing tale of obsession and celebrity worship from Harding (The Arrangement), becomes enchanted with her school's new pottery teacher, the charismatic, beautiful Freya Light, who has recently moved to Hawking, an island in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, a former hockey player who accidentally paralyzed an opponent during a game. The sports scandal also ended Freya's career as an Instagram influencer, which she's desperate to regain. Flattered by Low's adoration, Freya shares her dark secrets with Low, who believes they have a "soul connection." Low becomes uncontrollably jealous when Freya gets close to Jamie Vincent, who just moved to the island with her husband, Brian, to heal emotionally after an adoption scam. Following a night of "magic mushrooms," Freya suggests swapping partners with the Vincents, which has unexpected consequences. In this intense character study, the veneer of each person cracks, and Freya's propensity for violence erupts. Fans of psychological thrillers will be satisfied.
