Description
Two book lovers. Two broken hearts. One fresh chapter?
A REASON TO LIVE.
Still grieving the death of her best friend, Erin knows she needs to start living - but has no idea how.
Then she loses her favourite book, a heavily annotated copy of To Kill A Mockingbird containing her friend's last gift.
A REASON TO LOVE.
When James finds Erin's note-filled book in his local community bookshelf, it sparks a life-changing conversation. He writes his own message for her to find, inviting her to meet him in the margins of Great Expectations. As the book exchange continues, they both begin to open up . . . and perhaps fall in love.
A REASON TO FORGIVE?
But Erin and James have a shared history that neither of them has guessed. How will Erin react when she discovers that the other writer isn't a stranger at all - but the person she swore she'd never forgive?
Funny, heartwarming and romantic, THE BOOK SWAP is story of second chances and new beginnings. It is also a heartfelt love letter to books and the power of reading.
