Blurb from Goodreads:
Rose has changed. She still lives in the same neighborhood
with her stepmother and goes to the same high school with the same group of
kids, but when she woke up today, something was just a little different than it
was before. The dogs who live upstairs are no longer a terror. Her hair and her
clothes all feel brand-new. She wants to throw a party—this from a girl who
hardly ever spoke to her classmates before. There is no more sadness in her
life; she is bursting with happiness.
But something still feels wrong to Rose. Because, until very recently, Rose was an entirely different person—a person who is still there inside her, just beneath the thinnest layer of skin.
My Review:
*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest
review. Thanks to Harper Collins and Edelweiss*
Rose wakes up one morning a completely different person -
once shy and scared of her neighbour's dogs, she now can't stop talking, wants
to have a party and loves animals.
Why has she suddenly got a new personality?
Change Places with Me is set in the future which,
unfortunately, was the only thing I found interesting about this book.
For me, Rose was really annoying but that was mainly because
she asked too many questions and said silly things. I might have liked her
former self who was quieter.
I couldn't get into the writing style and found it quite
awkward and clunky in places.
The plot was okay but I thought it was pretty easy to work
out what had happened to Rose.
Overall this was an okay but disappointing read.
