The Book Swap

De: Tessa Bickers

Narrado por: Cameron Krogh Stone, Fran Burgoyne

A story of second chances and new beginnings, this is a love letter to books—and a love letter to life

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 community 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A love letter to books and reading. 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

Amazing

This was a beautiful read. Hits all the emotions. The characters are lovely. Loved it! Highly recommended!

Wow

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would tbh. Even felt at times it was rather philosophical indeed!

Emotional

“There’s always the sunshine”

The Book Swap had me feeling all of my emotions. This is an amazing debut book from Tess Bickers. I randomly found it in a bookstore and I’m so happy I picked it up. I loved every moment of this story, I cried and laughed throughout the entire thing. Anyone who reads it can take away something that they have felt in real life.

Forgiveness

This book reminds me to seek to get understanding before making assumptions. Forgiveness for the times you let someone down and they let you down.

It's ok if you have extra credits.

Characters are meh. Not very exciting. Story is very much like Meet Me In The Margins but much more depressing. If you're looking fir a depressing book to listen to, this one is for you.
