A dark sapphic rom-com? Count me in! Throw in video games and the fact that the two main characters are Opposites Attract, what could be better? 
 
While Fauna is a bubblegum princess, Remy is her complete opposite with her dark, masculine look. Fauna may be the girlfriend of Remy’s twin, but that doesn’t stop Remy from falling for the young woman with the pink personality, and it seems totally inevitable. There’s a lot of blending in this book, but once the appropriate switches are made, all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place. 
 
I liked the rom-com aspect, which softened the complex issues that the book deals with. Fauna and Remy are perfect for each other, and it did my little heart such good that this story had a happy ending in so many ways (even if some of the characters deserved to be able to follow their dreams, but that’s just a personal opinion of someone who gets too attached to the characters and wants them to experience total happiness). 
 
In short, sWitch is definitely worth reading.
