I am a fan of Courtney Milan historicals, so when she was handing out copies of a contemporary, I was skeptical. It took me this long to pick it up.

First, I thought it was a baseball themed book based on the title. It’s not. Its more a prince and the pauper story, with the pauper being a Chinese American girl, and Trade Me is “let’s trade lives for a month.” Ms Milan delivers on so many levels, from Tina’s history to Blake’s personality. As a rule, I’m not a fan of billionaire heroes, but she has made him so very likeable and relatable, and Tina so fractured it hurts, right up to the point where she sees herself for who she is. I very much enjoyed the ride!
