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.
A book-lovers dream! References to the following classics can be found in The Book Swap:
• TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
• GREAT EXPECTATIONS
• WUTHERING HEIGHTS
• MANSFIELD PARK
• THE GREAT GATSBY
• MIDDLEMARCH
• BELOVED

Erin leaves notes in the margins of her books and James finds one of her books in a LFL and decides to respond. They haven't met, but they grow closer with every book they share.

Don't let the cute cover fool you. This isn't a cutesy romance. The book focuses on grief, survivor's guilt, mending fences with family and friends, finding yourself,...

ShelleyBooksie Thank you for this review- it totally looked like a cutesy romance based on the cover! 2w
tpixie @ShelleyBooksie @julesG best review. The book sounds very good- & the cover is very deceptive. They‘re gonna get romcom people to read it and miss out on other people who might actually enjoy it better! 2w
julesG @ShelleyBooksie @tpixie - there is a romance, but the book offers so much more than just "will they, won't they" 2w
tpixie @julesG and I like that! Thx 2w
squirrelbrain Sounds good - stacking. And you‘re right - I‘d have been totally put off by the cover. 2w

Do you ever read a book that you automatically picture becoming a movie? That's what this one was for me. Scenes playing out in my head with impeccable detail thanks to the writing. The grief and mental health topics land hard enough to make me wish this book had a different cover. The cartoony graphics often make me assume it's a light romcom. First portion definitely gave me You've Got Mail x "Meet Me In The Margins" (Ferguson) vibes.

julesG I've read this book today and wholeheartedly agree. 3w
AvidReader25 I have this on my TBR and it sounds good! 3w

Can a book be your friend?

Erin definitely thinks so.

We follow Erin and a mystery man as they go back and forth writing in books and carrying on with something similar to having a pen pal.

It was fun, but very confusing and not a book I was anxious to get back to.

My goodness! This debut was nearly perfect! Heartbreakingly honest, romantic, sad, and hard to put down. These characters are dealing with tough challenges, grief, mental illness, complicated families, and painful histories but they manage to get through to the other side with the support of others and a love of literature. It was so moving and hard to believe this was Bickers‘ first novel. I can‘t wait for the next! Releases 9/2 #netgalleygroup
