Jo had learned the hard way that life was not mystical, or magical; it was hard and grey and cold most of the time. Much better to see it for what it is than to be perennially disappointed.
With a hefty new mortgage, a frustrating career as a newspaper columnist and a flailing relationship with a married co-worker, Jo Liddell is resigned to living a less-than-perfect life.
That is, until she crosses paths with Joe Bannister – a celebrated foreign correspondent returning home to care for his dying father. Against all her natural instincts, Jo finds herself falling for Joe, and with his help begins to realise that she might deserve to be happy after all.
But when she decides to take the plunge and give love a chance, the results are catastrophic. And so Jo must fight hard for everything she never believed in – success, self-acceptance, and above all, real love.

Journal Entry 3 by Mecu at Lumiar - Quinta das Conchas, Lisboa (cidade) Portugal on Friday, July 1, 2016
During my vacation week in Lisbon I visited the Conchas Little Free Library one day with couple of BC books which I brought from Finland. I had just barely put them inside the cabin, when a man came to talk with me, telling me that I was lucky because he had just put many English books there. I sort of guessed who he was: joaquimponte himself. :) We had a lovely little chat about books, readers etc. During our chat I picked this book up, thinking it was another novel, and realized it wasn't only afterwards. Anyway, the book is now with me in Finland. Thanks for sharing!
The book found a new reader at the Helsinki Bookcrossing meeting today. It was nice to see you again, annelis, when will our paths cross next? :)
It is a long way this book has travelled.
Thank you for the book, Mecu!

I took Blacklock's book from today's BC meet-up at café Roasberg. It won't stay on my book shelf for very long as I plan to take it to a certain bookcrosser who just might like yet another Australian author ;) Thanks for the book!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
The first half of the book Jo was very annoying; self centered, pessimistic, everyone-is-after-me, procastinating... When she finally started getting over herself the story got better and it was even a pleasure to read.
