ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Renée Carlino's "Swear On This Life" centers on Emiline, a writing instructor who reluctantly reads the literary sensation by debut author J. Colby. She becomes captivated by the story of childhood friends, Emerson and Jackson, falling in love amidst a challenging rural Ohio backdrop. However, Emiline is soon unsettled by the uncanny resemblance between the novel's narrative and her own painful upbringing, leading her to the startling realization that "J. Colby" is her long-lost best friend and first love, Jase. Instead of being flattered, Emiline is consumed by fury over his appropriation of her past and his fictionalized liberties with it. The story follows her quest to find Jase and confront him, forcing her to grapple with their shared history and the truth behind his compelling fiction. The book delves into themes of memory, the complexities of past relationships, and the blurred lines between reality and storytelling.
