Synopsis

A laugh-out-loud read from the bestselling author of Anna Alessi – history expert, possessor of a lot of hair and an occasionally filthy mouth – seeks nice man for intelligent conversation and Mills & Boon moments. Despite the oddballs that keep turning up on her dates, Anna couldn’t be happier. As a 30-something with a job she loves, life has turned out better than she dared dream. However, things weren’t always this way, and her years spent as the ‘Italian Galleon’ of an East London comprehensive are ones she’d rather forget. So when James Fraser – the architect of Anna’s final humiliation at school – walks back into her life, her world is turned upside down. But James seems a changed man. Polite. Mature. Funny, even. People can change, right? So why does Anna feel like she’s a fool to trust him? Hilarious and poignant, will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. The new must-read novel from #1 bestseller Mhairi McFarlane.

Goodreads review by Jacob on October 23, 2019

This book had to have been quite a challenge to write. I mean, not only did McFarlane undertake to convey the reality of someone bullied mercilessly in school who carries that trauma well into adulthood, but she undertook at the same time to redeem the centrally traumatic person involved and make hi......more

Loved the strong female character in this enemies to friends to lovers story by the incomparable Mhairi McFarlane. This author is the Boss of humourous slice of life women's fiction.

Goodreads review by Marguerite on January 03, 2014

Note - this is a revised review and not the original. I wrote my first review of this after finishing it in a rage at the way Mills&Boon books were used in the story, and decided not to grade the book because I knew that my view was extremely coloured as a result. Calm reflection and the urging of s......more
