When you bump a stranger, it’s embarrassing enough. When you bump and hit a stranger, you should already run. When you bump, hit and give a stranger the “bad” finger, it’s literally, scientifically and all the things with “l-y” the time where you should hide from the police. But when that stranger is actually someone you knew (and liked) years ago… well, that’s the moment when they all say, “AAWWW!”
After years of waiting her best friend, Anna had finally given up. But when she went on an educational trip, let’s just say fate found a way of turning her dull life into a new and colorful one. In her diary, we will find out how Anna had found the electronic way back, back to believing that love exists, back to her best friend’s arms.
But why give it a read? Well, this isn’t just that typical oh-so-I-fell-in-love-with-my-best-friend story. It’s the mixture of all the type of romance thingies we all pin down these days; that bad-boy and good girl duo, that “I love my best friend” type, that “he’s popular and I’m not” drama and a whole lot more. It’s a story where all kinds of love blend together in different forms but has one same meaning.
How? Read to find out.
