Or maybe it just needs a shower . . . \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVienna: famous for Mozart, waltzes, and pastry; less famous for Julia, a Swedish transplant who spends her days teaching English to unemployed Austrians and her evenings watching Netflix with her cat or club hopping with a frenemy. An aspiring novelist, Julia's full of ideas for future bestsellers: A writer moves his family to a deserted hotel in the dead of winter and spirals into madness! A homely governess loves a brooding man whose crazy wife is locked up in the attic! Fine, so they've been done. Doesn't mean Julia won't find \u003cem\u003esomething\u003c\/em\u003e original.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen something original finds Julia--sits down next to her on a bench, as a matter of fact. Ben is handsome (under all that beard) and adventurous (leaps from small bridges in a single bound). He's also sexy as hell and planning to shuffle off to Berlin before things can get too serious. Oh, and Ben lives in a public park.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThus begins a truth stranger than any fiction Julia might have imagined: a whirlwind relationship with a guy who shares her warped sense of humor and shakes up the just-okay existence she's been too lazy to change. Ben challenges her to break out; she challenges him to settle down. As weeks turn to months, Julia keeps telling herself that this is a chapter in her life, not the whole book. If she writes the ending, she can't get hurt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut what if the ending isn't hers to write?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbrahamson, Emmy:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEMMY ABRAHAMSON\u003c\/strong\u003e published her first book in 2011, the young adult novel \u003cem\u003eMin pappa är snäll och min mamma är utlänning\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003eMy Dad's Kind and My Mum's a Foreigner\u003c\/em\u003e).
