Two-time Lambda Literary Award-winning author Ann McMan introduces readers to Isabelle Lebrun, a quick-witted accidental train conductor whose love life always leaves her at the wrong station.
What happens when you’re looking for love and all your best friends are romance readers?
Cue a clown car of ill-fated first dates that read more like failed first drafts of romantic fiction tropes than aspiring hunts for the love of her life.
Assistant Conductor, Izzy Lebrun, spends her days riding the rails of The Green Mountain Zephyr between her home in Philadelphia and the end of the line in St. Alban'''s, Vermont. Beleaguered Izzy walks a tightrope—desperately trying to achieve a work-life balance between a job that pays the bills, and her dogged determination to finish her graduate degree so she can finally get a job that keeps her rooted in one place.
All she wants is to earn her Ph.D., get a damn cat, and find the love of her life.
Is that too much to ask?
We follow Izzy through her sometimes disastrous, sometimes implausible, but always hilarious journey through a maze of failed dates and epically bad one-night stands. Will Izzy ever get her ticket punched for a HEA or is this the end of the line for her?

‘Utterly delightful! Ann McMan has done it again, although can you really use this particular turn of phrase since Ann McMan does it every time and never misses? Switch is fun and funny, vulnerable and sweet, geeky and delectable. It makes you giggle and kick your feet at 2 a.m. because you just had to read one more chapter. The parade of tropes is hilarious, the setting cozy and the trains? What a captivating backdrop! So instead of using that introductory ‘she has done it again,’ syntagm, I’ll just say, '''Nobody does it like Ann McMan!’ —Milena McKay, Lambda Literary and Golden Crown Literary Society award-winning sapphic fiction author
