EBOOK
About
Still reeling from a recent tragedy, Erin Connolly knows she needs to start living, but has no idea how. When she accidentally donates her favorite book—a heavily annotated copy of To Kill a Mockingbird containing a memento she can’t be without—to a local Little Free Library, she’s devastated. But then the book turns up a week later, back in the library, with fresh notes in the margins, along with an invitation in a copy of Great Expectations to meet her newfound pen pal.
A life-changing conversation, written only in the margins of beloved classic books, begins between Erin and her Mystery Man. Following each other through the pages of their favorite novels as the book exchange continues, they both begin to open up, falling into a friendship…and maybe something more.
But Erin and her pen pal have a shared history that neither of them has guessed. Faced with painful reminders of the past—and the one person she swore never to forgive—Erin finds herself at a crossroads. One that could change her life forever.
"Both a gorgeous romance between two broken people, and a love letter to books and reading. If you loved THE FLATSHARE you will love this heartfelt debut from Tessa Bickers about two people with tragic pasts, brought together through notes scribbled in the margins of their favourite reads. This debut is catnip for any book geek. I just loved it." -- Cesca Major, author of Maybe Next Time, a Reese's Book Club Pick
“If you love books and love love, you are going to adore THE BOOK SWAP—a gorgeous novel about a couple falling in love, and finding themselves, in the notes they scribble for each other in beloved books. It’s heartwarming and hopeful and a testament to the power of a good read.” - Julie Cohen, bestselling author of Spirited
"It’s a soul-warming tale, perfectly balanced. I cried not once but several times. It’s Sophie Kinsella meets Beth O’Leary via Emily James and I loved it. It deserves to be a smash!" - Freya Berry, author of The Birdcage Library
“Moving and romantic. Tessa Bickers writes with a fresh and warm-hearted voice, and what a romantic concept!” - Lia Louis, author of Better Left Unsent
