 “The Book Swap” by Tessa Bickers is an enchanting debut romance novel which is great for book lovers and lovers of second chances involving following one’s dreams and heart. Set around a Little Library in London which two book lovers exchanging messages through margin notes in classic novels, this is an uplighting and heartwarming book with very believable characters. I appreciated the realistic portrayals of mental health challenges, bullying and difficulties of caregiving for parents. I only wish that the book had been extended a bit. Looking forward to more by this author. Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the eARC.
