关于此电子书

Fed up, frustrated and fast approaching forty, Charlie
Simpson hasn’t had many high points in her life just lately. The only peak on
the horizon is her ambition to climb Everest, if she could only get organised
and save up the cash.

Unfortunately, though, she has more pressing things to deal with; her eldest
son moving out, her father moving in, and her best friend moving two hundred
miles away. She finds solace, however, via her newly acquired modem, when she
stumbles upon a stranger who’s a like-minded soul. Like-minded, perhaps, but no
fantasy dream date. Though virtual, he’s of the real-life variety – he may be a
hero, but he has a wife.

Charlie hasn’t got a husband, but she certainly has principles, and they’re
about to be hauled up a mountain themselves. And, of course, her mum’s always
said she shouldn’t talk to strangers. The question is, is now the time to start
breaking the rules?

'A fantastic book that gets you hooked from the first page' New Woman

'It's wonderfully funny and rather inspiring...I enjoyed it hugely and I
confess I read it all in one go, wolfing it down like a delicious box of
chocolates' Judy Astley

‘A charming and optimistic novel about modern love’ – Hello Magazine

‘A laugh out loud read’ – Real magazine

'I absolutely loved it - hooray for Julia! this is
funny, original, well-written and unguessable - I had no idea how it would end.
It also has the very best closing paragraph I've read in years. Completely
wonderful, dazzlingly entertaining, unputdownaable' Jill Mansell
