I enjoyed the book for the most part, like once they got together, towards the end it lost me. The last chapter before the extras was kinda lame not gonna lie. It's mostly chat from fans and a quick group chat. Like they skipped them growing as people and their relationship. We barely get much relationship it's just super speed (boy did they jump into clingy pda and seggs) with no sustenance. I wished that they had to learn more independence from each other since they are codependent because of the swapping. Or maybe find out why they started swapping in the first place. Personally I didn't find her going the model route to be in character imo. She's always been the more serious, studious one of the two and I kinda expected a more musical route like pianist or composer since she actually liked playing the piano. If anyone should have been a model or in the entertainment industry it should have been the boy. It felt like she forgot she had a grandma at the end. Even though she was a big factor in the beginning. Like they didn't visit her she was always off modeling I don't think they told her the truth about her family and independence. It just felt like the author was repeating ML's parents romance but with body switching thrown in. Otherwise they are kind of similar. Both women got into the entertainment industry, both went a "originally rich to poor to rich again" path, they dislike their partner being clingy/possessive yet get upset by the partner leaving them alone like they want. The men were jealous & dense despite being called smart. Spoiler
Also her bio mom was a pushover who stuck to her husband for years even when he was awful to her and her kids until she was shocked by the events after XXD was found, you're telling me she was able to stand up for herself and plan to leave him without those things happening. She was fine with her adoptive daughter being married off for benefit but lord forbid that her bio daughter do the same. Like what changed??
the extras paint XXD as very selfish. Like before she did show a slight side of that, putting others in front of TY and then doing the bare minimum to coax him but it made him happy. So I was like okay maybe she gets better with that as their relationship grows & be more balance but it got skipped. XXD attitude gets worse and then makes it seem like she's the victim. For someone who says her whole world is her granny & TY, she sure doesn't show after she gets together with him. Like they revolve around each other but seem more unsatisfied with each other than when they weren't together. Like it feels like he loves her more and is more willing to share the joys & burdens (like share pain & comfort her) while she's kinda reckless in his healthy body. But he indulges her so I guess he's happy. Idk it could have been better.[collapse]
The extras in my opinion were also kinda bad. It added nothing to it. The author was trying to say no matter what they'd still end up together and experience the same things. But I say that's wrong. They won't be the same people even if they do end up together. For the author to say XXD would still have the same stubborn cold personality after being raised by Mu family is s*upid, imo her personality was shaped by her isolated childhood plus swapping with TY. TY should be more volatile since he only held back his temper for her.
