Tessa Bickers is the author of The Book Swap, a contemporary novel. Erin is in her mid twenties. Her good friend has just died of cancer and she is a mess emotionally. Her friend who died gave her a poem which she treasures and keeps in her book To Kill A Mockingbird. This book is all marked up with her comments and observations in the margins. In the process of moving she accidentally puts that book in one of the free little libraries. When she realizes what she has done she goes back to the free little library repeatedly. One day she finds her book with her treasured poem intact. Another person has written in a different color ink his comments and observations. He asks her to read Great Expectations. They correspond for months via great books. When they finally meet Erin learns that he was the boy who totally humiliated her in high school. Erin has a long history of not forgiving people. This book was a light read, not great but good.
