About this ebook

A laugh-out-loud read from the Sunday Times bestselling author of If I Never Met You

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, Here’s Looking At You will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. The new must-read novel from #1 bestseller Mhairi McFarlane.

I agree that the start is somehow slow and not making me curious at all. But, then the reason i read it is the curiousity itself. OMG. My curiousity is keep increasing as I think I find the interesting part, because the basic of the story is kind of 'guess i know where it's going'. My POINT IS you'll re-read this book after you read it through :)

Very modern romance, with a lot of modern comments (particularly the sexual ones) that I had to google to understand the actual meanings - so I suppose you could say that I learnt a lot. Certainly I never imagined what you could use one of my favourite herbs in cooking and desserts - ginger for! Fun story with traditional girl meets boy, confusion/heartbreak, another person/split up and then all together eventually. A lot of laughter which lightened up much of the story.

I loved this book. I laughed out loud at places while Anna's experiences at school were really moving. Anna's family, well mainly her sister, and her friends were real people who you'd love to meet. I only wish it had been set in Manchester or Nottingham, but given the historical setup London probably was best.
