A Maria l'hanno schiaffata in fabbrica, a me all'università a studiare Legge, dopo pianti e strepiti.

But when Molly leaves England's gray skies behind to start a new life at the University of Alabama, she finds that she has a lot to learn - she didn't know a summer could be so hot, she didn't know students could be so intimidating, and she certainly didn't know just how much the folks of Alabama love their football.

In fact, they haven’t even spoken since their breakup four years earlier.

Because if Harper admitted she wasn’t sure about love, it might also mean giving up on a millionaire husband-to-be and the lavish island wedding of her dreams.
