About this listen

A story about love, loss, hope, second chances, and above all, the power of reading...

A REASON TO LIVE.
Still grieving the death of her best friend, Erin knows she needs to start living - but has no idea how. Then she loses her favourite book, a heavily annotated and containing her friend's final words to her.

A REASON TO LOVE.
When James finds Erin's note-filled book in his local community library, it sparks a life-changing conversation. He writes his own message back, and soon they are locked in an anonymous book exchange, with no idea who the other person in the margins might be.

A REASON TO FORGIVE?
But Erin and James have a shared history that neither of them realise. How will Erin react when she discovers the other writer isn't a stranger at all - but the person she once swore she'd never forgive?

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

Everyone needs a James!

The book addresses so many of life’s challenges that it’s pretty difficult not to be able to relate to one of them, and you can see how the journeys of the main characters evolve in each chapter - I’m actually in love with James!
I’m keen to look up some of the books used in the book swaps.
Great read, have no idea where those 9 hours went! Thanks
