I really wanted to enjoy this book and the plot of scavengers living off mining salvage heaps seemed interesting enough. The Green Corps group that controlled everything appeared to be a villainous enough entity. What I couldn't get past was the juvenile like love story going on between Walker and Elsa. The initial attraction was ok but how after she is violently sexually assaulted she is all ready to just jump into bed with Walker when they get the opportunity? It just didn't make sense. Plus it seemed a little too spicy compared to the rest of the writing in the book . Though I do appreciate getting the opportunity to read the book from NetGalley, I doubt I would continue this series. ( )

Lena Gibson is well on her way to becoming one of my favorite authors. I’ve read all of her books and each one is fantastic. Switching Tracks is no exception. This futuristic, dystopian story follows Elsa, a smart, scrappy young woman who scavenges trash to keep herself and her great-grandmother alive. Elsa finds a mysterious cylinder that puts her in the crosshairs of some very bad men. With the help of Walker, a handsome train-hopper, she does her best to solve the mystery. I really enjoyed this story. The world-building was stellar. The characters were well developed. I’m looking forward to the next installment.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. ( )
