“Queen, our daughters should NEVER have to wonder what they have to fix for a man to love them. Even more?...Nor should you! Love yourself, teach self-love and end that toxic relationship. If you're "working" on allowing a man to walk all over you, giving multiple chances and not giving that one chance to yourself to WALK AWAY permanently it's time for self-reflection. When you love yourself you KNOW some things you must walk away from and not waste another moment investing in someone who doesn't even invest in themselves!”
― Maria Lemmo

“��I used to have picnics on Wimbledon Common and I never knew this place for anything else but strawberries and cream, tennis and Rachel Nickell’s murder! Now Wimbledon in my mind is tied with mysterious sexy intrigue, not just fruit, police honey traps and a wrongly accused killer! I shall visit the Village for coffee. Please say hi if you spot paparazzi moi with my cam.

Allergies disclaimer:

I would like to stress that this book is not exactly for the unwashed masses:

I delayed showering after the last switch. I’ve created a Pavlovian response: he must associate its floral sweetness with sexual fulfilment.

Adam has a “Pavlovian�� reaction to Elena’s BO? Bribes her with cake to lessen the wrath when asking Elena to wash?
��
He frowns, seeing that I’m silent and trembling. My perfume was weak; hers much stronger. I say, my temper flaring.


Now, ladies and gentlemen, the usual hoi polloi quality potential chattel chatting up yours truly in Sarf London would probably assume that a big phat slice of Marks & Spencer’s Strawberry Pavlova will get them into the lady’s knickers. Nope, she’s allergic to stupid..
A merengue dessert will hardly cause a rash but a moron makes her skin crawl.
This is a cleverly written book.

So some of you, keen aspiring readers, please have your Oxford fictionary handy!
Just saying!

In words of our hero:

*‘Bloody pricey,�� Adam adds. ‘But God, it is a nice smell. Don’t you like it?�� [...] then squirts onto my wrist playfully.”

“People who are out of touch with their minds often struggle with maintaining healthy relationships because they prioritize sleep and going with the flow over emotional regulation and communication. As a result, they may not be happy with someone who is moody or unpredictable, as they prioritize stability and control in their relationships.”
