The Last Exchange is a work of art. The summary on the back of the book is a little vague so I didn’t really know what kind of a story I was going into when I started it but I think that’s part of why it was so good. It was full of mystery, suspense, love, heartbreak… I find myself thinking about it still. Charles Martin is becoming one of my favorite authors. I’ve only read three of his books but l have loved them all. There is something about the way he writes. The man is a genius! This story was beautifully done. He was able to take real world problems and turn them into a beautiful and inspiring story about sacrifice and love. “How far would you go–really–to save someone you love?”
