Free (nook/Kindle/Kobo) Here's Looking At You [Chick-Lit Ex-Bully Friendship Comedy]

Here's Looking At You by Scottish-born Nottingham-resident author Mhairi McFarlane is her standalone chick-lit second chances friendship novel with strong f/m romantic comedy elements, alternating viewpoints between the thirtysomething woman who gets a second chance to confront the teenaged crush who'd tormented and humiliated her in high school, but appears to have grown up and matured into someone worth knowing, maybe, as they gradually develop a friendship and maybe something more, free courtesy of publisher HarperCollins' Avon imprint.

I must say, I rather like the bit in the author's bio-blurb which says: "Mhairi was born in Scotland in 1976 and has been explaining how to pronounce her name ever since.". Also, the customer reviews say that while this is a funny and touching romantic second chances story, it also deals with the subject of bullying which gives it a darker edge than the average chick-lit romantic comedy, and the HEA romantic setup may be for persons other than the featured leads, so YMMV.

Currently free @ B&N UK, Amazon UK, iTunes UK, and Kobo (available to the UK and apparently also in Japan as well when I spot-checked assorted regional stores). Likely also free at Google Play for the eligible countries.

Description
The new novel from the bestselling author of You Had Me At Hello.

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.
