I'm so glad I was given the opportunity to read this book, which is written and self-published by someone who I've come to admire and respect for many years on Goodreads. The fact that she is now blazing through her success by co-owning a book blog, among many other ventures, confirms that she has worked very hard for everything that has come to her.
Switch , described as a dark murder mystery book, revolves around the world of California fugitive Leah Rosewood, a 15-year old girl who has had to constantly pack up and leave her surroundings and friends behind after an unsolved scandal that involves her fugitive mother and her unknown father. When she and her mother relocate to the bustling scene of New York, her past is forced to come to light as her new world collides with her old one. Friendships are tested, hearts are broken, and in the finale, Leah finally faces the ghost of her past, in living flesh.
So what did I think of this book? For starters, I felt like this book was the lightest 225 pages I've read in awhile! Font size and spacing could attribute to that, but I definitely feel like no scene was every sluggish or boring. When one scene closes, another jumps out at you, begging to be opened. And compliments to the author for the rich imagery and defined characters! "Big Red and Coca Cola" will definitely stick with me for the long run---you'll have to read to be immersed in the lovely language. Throughout the book, I definitely longed to see the different angles of Ms. Marissa Rosewood (the mother), as well as the complex emotions of Leah, the protagonist.
As a whole, the book definitely meets the mark---it is definitely built with the perspective of a high school teenager in mind, so YA fans should definitely leap at the opportunity to read this book. Do I think this book is more romance/YA drama than murder mystery however? Definitely, but at this point, it doesn't matter because a good book is a good book! And props to Cozzi for turning her vision into reality. I enjoyed every minute of reading it.

I really enjoyed this story by such a young author! What an accomplishment it must be, to be published at her young age.
I thought the writing style was impeccable for a young adult novella.
The story was intriguing, and dealt with issues of bullying, etc. that makes it relatable, even if you're not a fugitive on the run ::grin::
It was a quick read! Definitely worth it!
I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys YA mystery, a la The Face on the Milk Carton by Caroline B. Cooney

This book was written by my first best friend and it's amazing. And I'm not just saying this because she's my best friend. If I didn't know her I still would have loved this book if I ever came across it. I highly recommend this book. It was great.
