Bookish Brina

He’s thirty-eight. I’m twenty-three.

He speaks Span­ish. I speak English.

He lives in Spain. I live in Canada.

He dresses in thousand-dollar suits. I’m cov­ered in tattoos.

He’s mar­ried and has a five-year old daughter.

I’m sin­gle and can’t com­mit to any­one or anything.

Until now.  Because when they say you can’t choose who you fall in love with, boy ain’t that the f*#king truth.

Karina Halle has more than outdone herself with Love, in English.  This story is beautiful, emotional, everything that I was hoping for and more. I laughed, cried, threw things and awed throughout.

Vera wants to see the world before she buckles down to work on her degree in astronomy. She decides to sign up for a program in Spain, teaching Spaniards conversational English.  What Vera didn't plan on was meeting Mateo Casalles, a very attractive but also very unavailable man.  And she sure as hell didn't plan on falling in love. 

Love, in English has found its way to my favorites shelf, and I know I'll read it again. 

Karina Halle is A-Fucking-Mazing!
