A paperback by Black Swan, 2000, 317 pages.

Synopsis:

"Sex. Yes. She remembered that.

Wasn't that the thing that happened somewhere between the talking-and-going-out-to-dinner bit and the sobbing-and-eating-too-many-biscuits bit? Still, Bella was sure she could handle some -preferably before her as yet unopened packet of condoms reached their expiry date. She must be practically a virgin again by now, all sealed over like pierced ears if you don't wear earrings for too long.

But the 'L' word? Uh-huh. No way. She never wanted to hear it again. There were things in her past which needed to be put well away, like the 27 boxes of clutter she'd brought from her old flat. And having changed her job, her town, her entire life - the one thing she wasn't about to change was her mind."

I finished reading this book on winter holiday in Salla. Mostly this book offered good relaxing chick-lit vibes. In some points I was however very irritated with Bella’s inability to talk about anything sensitive. She was also very stubborn against her advantage and this was reflected in the plot on many occasions.

With this book I participate in Alejanda’s Luetaan numeroita challenge ja Annimanni’s Maailman ympäri kirja kerrallaan challenge.

Matkalla Sallasta Kajaaniin pysähdyimme Suomussalmella ja poikkesimme kirjastossa. Tämä kirja odottelee uusia lukijoita kirjaston perätuulikaapin kierrätyshyllyssä. / This book is waiting for new readers in the recycling shelf in Suomussalmi library.

Lapset toivat tämän tuliaisina hiihtolomalta Suomussalmelta :) Sieltä kirjaston hyllystä hakivat. Itse olen aika huono englannin lukija, tarjoan jollekulle taitavammalle.

Got this from Taavina in our mini-meeting in Kokkola. Looks like perfect easy reading for summer holidays!

I'm on holiday, and this was quite good for holiday-reading! Easy and maybe fun too, even if I was also irritated by Bella's behavior at times.

Enjoy the book!
