The Swap

This was a cute, fun book. Tommy and Jim work together. Tommy is one of those shy awkward stay in the background people. He babbles when nervous. It was endearing


Jim is a stand up guy, and gives up a lot for Tommy. When Jim finds out they are laying off some people, he goes to bat for Tommy. In doing that Jim gets laid off instead. Jim says he needs it more and he Jim can fend and do ok without a job for the time being.


They become more, it happens kind of fast so we don’t get to see them enough together. This was a really fast read. This is the first book I have read from this author. I look forward to more.

This is a short, sweet, truly feel good, romantic novella. Jim is a really awesome friend. I don't know many, if any, people who would do what he does for Tommy. Theirs is a beautiful friendship.

Tommy really couldn't afford to lose his job. It would absolutely be the end of his hopes and dreams. He's been going through so much and everything is starting to look up for him. So when Jim loses his job in place of Tommy's so Tommy won't lose everything it's huge!

With Jim now being out of work you see him helping Tommy out with his new house and with that their friendship grows and changes into something else.

I loved Tommy. He was so adorable and his stuttering when he was nervous was endearing. Jim and Tommy's friendship is a solid thing so when there's the thought of romance it's a bit scary and I get that. You don't want to ruin an already amazing thing.

I liked this short story it's fun, beyond sweet, and it's a quick read. This is what you read when you need a pick me up. Well done.
