Distraction (n): Something that turns your attention away from something you want to concentrate on. See: Teddy Prescott. Ruthie Midona is twenty-four (going on ninety-four) and fully committed to her job at a luxury retirement village. Keeping herself busy caring for the eccentric residents means that Ruthie can safely ignore her own life - what little there is of it. Teddy Prescott is practically allergic to a hard day's work. When he rocks up as the retirement village's newest employee, Ruthie is less than impressed. The last thing she needs is a distraction as irritating (and handsome) as this selfish rich kid. Lucky for Ruthie, her favourite pair of mischievous residents need a new assistant to torture... so she hands over Teddy, ready for them to send him running. Except Teddy may be about to surprise her - not just by surviving the old women's antics, but by charming Ruthie so much, she starts to remember that there's more to life than work... Could Teddy be far more than simply an unwelcome distraction?

Sally Thorne is the USA Today-bestselling Australian author of The Hating Game. Her debut novel sold in over twenty-five countries and is now a major motion picture.

Sally's much-anticipated second novel, 99 Percent Mine, debuted on the USA Today bestseller list and was featured by Goodreads as one of the top 28 hit books for the first half of 2019. Second First Impressions was her third bestselling novel. Sally Thorne lives in Canberra, Australia and spends her days writing, reading, drinking cups of tea and obeying the every whim of Delia the Pug. She lives with her husband in a house filled with vintage toys, too many cushions and a haunted dollhouse.
Rezensionen
"Second First Impressions is the warmest, coziest, sweetest book of the year, an absolutely perfect blend of humor and heart. I want to live inside Sally Thorne's brain." - Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read

"I inhaled Second First Impressions! I had to force myself to slow down because I didn't want it to end. It's a truly adorable, heart-warming, swoon-worthy love story. A book hasn't given me the warm-fuzzies like this for a very long time." - Beth O'Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare

"Second First Impressions is about realizing that life is short, and that to live it to the fullest we must be both selfish and selfless. It urges us to soak up the beauty of each passing moment - and this wondrous book is a good place to start." - Entertainment Weekly

"Thorne manages to bring all the characters to vivid life, endearing them to the reader through the enumeration of their quirks and fleeting revelations about their pasts. Each scene between the protagonists-whose first meeting will make you laugh and wince simultaneously-is a delight, as is Ruthie's motley found family." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Following 99 Percent Mine, Thorne's latest novel is a sweet story, merging a woman whose fears tend to overpower her dreams, and a slow-burn romance that turns her world upside down." - Library Journal

"Second First Impressions was perfect for the moment I was reading it in. It's funny and might make you cry (in a cathartic way), and has a hero whose kindness I truly loved." - Smart Bitches, Trashy Books

"Sally Thorne satisfies hearts longing for laughter in their love stories... [Joshua and Lucy's] battle of wits is tremendously fun-acerbic and sexy and filled with tension. The result is a wicked, witty romance that will capture readers' hearts long before Joshua manages to capture Lucy's." - Washington Post on The Hating Game

"Good fun." - People on The Hating Game

"Funny, smart, fresh, and thoroughly enjoyable from the first delicious page to the last. I highly recommend." - Susan Elizabeth Phillips, New York Times bestselling author, on The Hating Game

"A brilliant, biting, hilarious new voice. The Hating Game will take the rom-com world by storm. One of the best I've read, ever." - Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author
