*EDITORS PICK* "This book has been so amazing I found myself daydreaming about it💖💖 totally worth my time 😃" "This story has had me laughing, screaming, and squealing with excitement. Dexter definitely gives me "dude really?" vibes and I'm so grateful the ending wasn't dragged out. Gaby is painfully relatable and I love her dearly and here I am wishing I had a friend like katya. I don't think I could give this story any more love!!! 💛💛💛💛💛" If you like this book, you can buy it: https://bookgoodies.com/a/B07RD1HRR5 A boy, a girl, a dating guru-what can possibly go wrong?! Gaby's recently split from her boyfriend of ten years and needs to escape fast. Where better than the Highlands of Scotland where she can lick her wounds and recover in peace and quiet? Fate has different ideas in mind. First, there's the rough and ready Jack McAllan who bears more than a passing resemblance to Gaby's favourite fictional Scottish hero. He's an important part of the local community, even if he's failed to impress Gaby so far. Who knew a guy could be so rude and taciturn? Then, there's the mystery of the woman whose home she now inhabits. Kirsty's left too many tantalising clues for Gaby to resist, not least her not-so-secret identity and YouTube fame. But why did Kirsty run, and does it have anything to do with the red-haired Scot who keeps turning up in Gaby's daydreams much as she tries to resist... Featuring kilts, mist-cloaked hills, lochs where the water runs deep, spoilt cats and a little too much whisky, Highland Fling is a sweet, fun-filled romp through Scottish small towns and rural life, finding love, making a fool of yourself and discovering that an overactive imagination leads you into all kinds of trouble... The perfect book for fans of chick lit humour, laugh-out loud romantic comedies along the lines of Jill Mansell, Sophie Kinsella and Jenny Colgan.

"Not that I am curious or anything..." she feigned disinterest even though her voice was laced with utter fascinatation. "But what do you keep writing in that journal of yours?" He regarded her with longing eyes, the way he had for the past three years, like a stray puppy following her around. He pushed his round glasses further up the bridge of his nose, clutching the plain blue notebook closer to himself. "Nothi- nothing about you!" She bent down to meet him at eye level at the bench he sat on. With a ruffle of his hair that took him by surprise, she narrowed her eyes at him. "Are you sure about that, nerd?" And when Bin gulped and Yejin realized that he was lying, he did the only sane thing his mind conjured. He ran. ------- When a 23 year old introverted and shy university student catches feelings for a somewhat bully/massively bratty girl in his Accounting class, he can't help but feel his heart flutter every time she's in sight. Instead of trying to tell her how he feels, he's hindered by his reserved personality, thus, deciding to write everything he feels for her in a journal. Until one day, Yejin desperately wants to know what the cute introverted boy writes in his journal every time his eyes leave hers and then go back to his notebook, his hand scribbling away. ------ romance/humor/sappy-but-not-really-almost-teenagery-love.
