The Last Exchange by Charles Martin
As soon as I see an advanced copy available for this author I drop everything to read it.
ABOUT THE BOOK
“Here’s the catch—even if I make it out of here alive, I need a reason to breathe again.”
When MacThomas Pockets finished his last tour as part of the Scottish Special Forces, he was hired to consult for a film director to finesse some scenes that weren’t working. In a twist he never saw coming, he ended up moving to L.A. to work as the bodyguard for movie star Maybe Joe Sue.
It didn’t take long for Pockets to realize there were two Joe Sues: The Joe Sue the public saw with her perfect life and her Hollywood husband. And the private Joe Sue: the one with the traumatic youth that no amount of pills could cover up, who desperately wanted a child of her own.
Even after their paths diverged, he continued to track Joe Sue’s life. Only a few would notice when the bottom fell out. But he did. And that’s when he stepped in.
The latest novel from New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin travels from Hollywood to rural Montana as one man answers the question: How far would you go—really—to save someone you love?
MY REVIEW
Wow! Just, wow! I have read a lot of Charles Martin’s books, and I was convinced that his last trilogy was him at the top of his game. I was mistaken. To me, The Last Exchange is his best work to date. I had to let the story percolate and settle before I was remotely able to articulate my thoughts.
If this story doesn’t move you, then I really don’t know what will. I cannot wait to see what Charles Martin will do to follow up after this book. The story of Pockets and Joe Sue is unforgettable and a perfect example of deep, unconditional love. The wrap-up to this story astounded me and really touched my heart. Masterfully crafted, this story has the makings of a timeless classic.
I obtained an advance copy of this book from the publisher on NetGalley and my opinion is my own.
