Book Tour: Seven Year Switch Book Review

Ready for another great summer read? Seven Year Switch is a great book by Claire Cook and it will be a great one to read on the beach or by the pool this summer! Read on to learn a little more about the book, the author, and what I thought about it.

Jill Murray is content living a man-free existence. She’s got Anastasia, her ten-year-old daughter, and a sweet little bungalow to call home. Life as a cultural coach didn’t turn out quite the way she planned, but between answering phones for Great Girlfriend Getaways and teaching Lunch Around the World classes, the dust in this Jill-of-all-trades life is starting to settle.

Then her ex-husband comes back.

They say that every seven years you become a completely new person, and Jill has long ago stopped wishing her deadbeat husband would return. Now she has to face the fact there’s simply no way she can be a good mom without letting Seth back into their daughter’s life. But why can’t she seem to hold herself together around him? And then there’s Billy, the free-spirited, bike-riding entrepreneur who hires Jill as a consultant. When their business relationship seems destined for something more Jill’s no-boys-allowed life is suddenly anything but.

It takes a Costa Rican getaway to help Jill make her choice — between the woman she is and the woman she wants to be. It’s a wild ride, sure to thrill Claire Cook’s many fans, complete with laughter, revelations, and one heckuva big tarantula

The author of Seven Year Switch, Claire Cook, is the bestselling author of seven novels, including Must Love Dogs, which was adapted into a Warner Bros. movie starring Diane Lane and John Cusack, The Wildwater Walking Club, Life’s a Beach, and her latest, Seven Year Switch. Her books have been featured on Good Morning America and in People, Good Housekeeping, Redbook and more. She has two kids, seven brothers and sisters, and one husband. She lives in Scituate, MA.

My Opinion
This book was another one-dayer for me. I literally could not stop reading it! The storyline and troubles that Jill went through as a woman, wife, and mother hit home and really drew me into the book!

I loved the "Seven Year Switch" part and how after seven years you become a new person. I think in life that really does happen - we just don't think about it unless it really changes our lives!

I recommend Seven Year Switch to all women out there who love a good read. It is especially good for women who are going through divorce or separation, are mothers, or who are just facing challenges or questions in their life!
