Anna Alessi – history expert, possessor of a lot of hair and an occasionally filthy mouth – seeks nice man for intelligent conversation and Harlequin romance 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 butt of schoolyard jokes 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?
The book everyone can almost relate to. You've been invited to your school reunion but you hated it when you were there and you're certainly not the same person since.
Anna is that girl. She was bullied on a daily basis at school and has somehow managed to distance herself from that place. But she can't ever forget the cruel things the children did.
I did think this book took a while to get into, but once you get started it really is a great book. I felt for Anna as she was a hopeless romantic and when she's brought to work with a guy who used to bully her at school, she's torn. However he doesn't remeber her, so Anna has the upper hand.
Anna's friends are just awesome, i loved Michelle. James was great he's the school bully or least was. And he too is going through some tough times as an adult. The two really do bounce off one another.
It's a tug of war/love with them both. You're wanting Anna to reveal herself but are scared for how the revalation comes about. The ending for me was just perfect. I'm a soppy mare, but i'd take it anyday!
