The Exchange by Nadija Mujagic – Review by Santana Hicks

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

Sam is just a small town girl with a big dream. She wants to become an actress. Her first step is to move to Los Angeles. As much as she thought she was prepared for the big city, there was so much she wasn’t expecting.

Almost getting denied instantly, she sets out to find a job in the meantime. Sam starts working in a small cafe when she meets Corey. She thinks he is quite handsome and charismatic. After only knowing him a short time, he asks Sam to move in and be his roommate until she can find something more permanent.

Corey wants to help Sam achieve her goals of becoming an actress. The only thing he wants in return is her unborn baby. Just a small exchange right? Sam has no idea what to do. Can she trade a human being for life as an actress? It’s all she ever wanted since she was a kid.

As soon as Sam got to L.A. I knew she was too naive for the big city. She seemed too trusting. As soon as Corey was introduced to the story, my instincts were screaming for her not to trust him. In reality, it was so much more than distrust she needed. This book was intriguing from start to finish. I hated each character in their own way which made me love the book that much more. Action, mystery, suspense with a twist on top of that, I could not put the book down!
