Produktbeschreibung
Jessie wanted a love like in the movies. She has a degree and she has a job and she has friends. But after waiting for years, the one thing she is missing, is to fall in love and to be loved for the first time. A romantic at heart but almost ready to give up on love she finds a love that feels like it was taken from a screen or the pages of a teenage novel. The man who convinces her that love exists is as sweet as she always dreamed, a musician and therefore as interesting as she always hoped and from a different country so falling in love feels even more dramatic. She gets to live the illusion of the fairytale for a year before it all starts to crumble. The man she loved never really existed and she does not know how to pick up the pieces. One half of this book reads like a teenage dream... the other like a nightmare.
Autorenporträt
I am a 25 year old historian who recently got her second university degree. Having had the opportunity to study in Germany, England and Ireland, I was also lucky enough to get to live in those different countries. I have been writing since I was little, but only ever published one short story. I greatly enjoy a well-writtten piece of dystopian fiction, horror, thriller, or stories about the small and simple things in life. As someone who is a hopeless romantic with little romantic experience but also a feminist constantly confronted with the harsh realities of many relationships and marriages through statistic, history, the news and experiences of people close to me, I wanted to highlight how gravely traumatising and altering even experiences of emotionally abusive relationships can be, when they are often dismissed as something to just get over.
