Muscle Memory by Steve Lowe
4.0
"I SHOULDA KNOWN something was up when the dog meowed at me."
Best opening line ever!
I've played out the body-swapping scenario in my head so many times, it became an obsession at one point. What if I swapped bodies with Mark Zuckerberg (please) ? Kat Dennings's BF (please, please, please) ? A diabetic tortoise ? A Latvian nun ? The list goes on... So yes, I think it's a fantastic and intriguing story device.
Steve Lowe brilliantly explores the physical and psychological impacts of body-swapping (or 'the Old Switcheroo') in Muscle Memory. He offers us a very simple, funny and compelling story with very lovable and realistic characters, and a superb ending. I simply could not put my kindle down.
