The Book Swap

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 and containing her friend''s final words to her. A REASON TO LOVE. When James finds Erin''s note-filled book in his local community library, it sparks a life-changing conversation. He writes his own message back, and soon they are locked in an anonymous book exchange, with no idea who the other person in the margins might be. A REASON TO FORGIVE? But Erin and James have a shared history that neither of them realise. How will Erin react when she discovers the other writer isn''t a stranger at all - but the person she once swore she''d never forgive? A story of second chances and new beginnings, this is a love letter to books - and a love letter to love.
