Sex. Yes. She remembered that.
Wasn't that the thing that happened somewhere between the talking-and-going-out-to-dinner bit and the sobbing-and-eating-too-many-biscuits bit?
Still, Bella was sure she could handle some -preferably before her as yet unopened packet of condoms reached their expiry date. She must be practically a virgin again by now, all sealed over like pierced ears if you don't wear earrings for too long.
But the 'L' word? Uh-huh. No way. She never wanted to hear it again. There were things in her past which needed to be put well away, like the 27 boxes of clutter she'd brought from her old flat. And having changed her job, her town, her entire life - the one thing she wasn't about to change was her mind.
Love is a Four-Letter Word is an uplifting story with a heroine you'll be rooting for. Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Katie Fforde.

A perfect gem Reader Review
Made me laugh out loud and cry too. Well written and paced just right Reader Review
Every character was beautifully layered and I found it believable and surprisingly moving so that the ending felt satisfying and authentic. Claire Calman is a new author for me - very talented and I will certainly read more of her work now!' Reader Review
