Ellie King is in grade 12 and is starting her senior year. Her English professor has an assignment that involves writing letters to students in Brighton, UK and Ellie is paired up with John Davids.

Soon Ellie finds her friendship with John growing and with Ellie planning on going to school in the UK after she graduates the two continue their friendship.

Will Ellie and John be able to move their friendship into something more when she goes to London or do they discover they are better off as friends?I

This was such a great ending book for this series.

I loved the circle that has Ellie headed back to England where her mother began. I also loved the writing of letters and I wish we did more of that these days as we rely so much on technology.

I liked how John and Ellie really started their friendship with no expectations and the end of the book!

In this final installment of The Exchange Series, we meet Ellie - the offspring of Holly and Aiden back in Dear Diary. Though a culmination of the series, it could still be read as a standalone; but the rest of the series gives background of course and builds the characters up.

Ellie, a student in the States, is paired up with John, a UK college student, for their final year project of writing to each other as penpals. They get to know each other via a series of letters, until they finally end up meeting and sealing their fate...

It was a lovely end to the series, with it finishing in a similar way to how it began, many years ago with the same family. 5*
