The Book Swap

Fall in love between the pages . . . 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, heavily annotated and containing her friend's final words to her. When James finds Erin's note-filled book in his local community library, he writes his own message back, and soon they are locked in an anonymous book exchange . . . 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 . Fans of Emily Henry, Beth O'Leary and Sarah Adams will be hooked!
