The Exchange by Nadija Mujagic – Review by Beverly Finnie

The Exchange: A Novel by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Such a twisted and bizarre novel. I didn’t love it but I still couldn’t put it down either. The Exchange is definitely an experience. The author makes you feel the negative feelings projected. The author makes you root for the lead female character. Those two things are what kept me invested. Everything I was thinking was going on when I first started was definitely wrong. A fre of the minor details were right, but the rest I was far off. It’s nice when the author can artfully surprise you. Well I was definitely surprised.
Sam had big dreams. Moving to LA and becoming an actress. So much belief in herself, till she got there. She couldn’t get an audition, she couldn’t get an acting job. She had no choice but to answer a classified, little did she know that classified would change her life forever.
Corey’s a charmer. It took him very little to woo Sam. Take her on dates, convince her to move in just to make things easier for them. Once he has her in his mits he abandons her. Ceases contact and leaves her stranded with no wifi, cell, or phone service.
Was that his intention?
Did Corey really abandon Sam?
Those questions are few questions, when this book causes millions. Though it also answers every single, which is what keeps one interested and intrigued.
A psychological thriller at its best! Can be a slight trigger warning but definitely worth the read!
