  Two best friends. One messy love story. 
  After another horrendous first date, Lizzie decides she is done with the apps. In her search for love she's been out with every dead-beat, ick-ridden commitment-phobe in the book. If only there was a way to vet her potential love matches before another Friday night is wasted… 
  Sat drowning her sorrows with her two best friends, Lizzie comes up with a wild idea: the ex-swap. Instead of swiping right on more wrongs, each woman has to offer up their very best ex – someone who's great on paper but just wasn’t for them – and they’ll each take a chance on a man who, at the very least, has passed the best friend check. 
  Is it a slightly unhinged plan? Of course. But worst comes to worst it’ll be a funny story; a no pressure experiment in second hand romance. What could possibly go wrong?

  First published in 1909, this compact yet powerful manual exposes the most common blunders of language and style, offering Bierce’s signature blend of precision, humor, and biting critique.

  Narrated by Donavan Price, this audiobook captures the acerbic wit and intellectual rigor that made Bierce one of America’s great literary critics. Write It Right remains as relevant — and as entertaining — as ever, a must-listen for writers, editors, and lovers of language who believe that words, used well, truly matter.
