Emily (Maxwell)

When sixteen-year-old Emily's family uproots her from Seattle to England right before her junior year, she has to adjust to a whole new lingo, new friends, and a serious lack of coolness. Luckily, hunkalicious British boys do exist! Things That Really Irk My Pickle About Living in England1. The school uniform Piddlington-on-the-weld (I will forever be known as Emily from Piddlesville.)2. Marmite (It's yeast sludge! GACK!)3. The ghost in my underwear drawer (Spectral hands fondling my bras - enough said!)4. No malls! What are these people thinking??? Things That Keep Me From Flying Home to Seattle for Good Coffee1. Holly (Any girl who hunts movie stars with me-and Oded Fehr will be mine-is a friend for life.)2. Aidan (Hunkalicious!)3. Devon (Droolworthy? Understatement of the year!)4. Fang (He puts the num in nummy!)5. Über-coolio Polo Club (Where the snogging is FINE!)

Life, love, and the pursuit of the perfect Englishman... Emily Williams, twenty-something free spirit, is spending a year in England with -- horror of horrors -- her parents. She's not going to let that get her down, though...any more than she is brought low by her seemingly hopeless search for love, the ghost that inhabits her underwear drawer, the horrible high school flashbacks that come via a student she tutors, the hot guy she fancies who may or may not be what he appears, or the dishy almost-veterinarian who could be the perfect Mr. Emily...if only he wasn't elbow-deep in sheep. Literally.. Welcome to the world of Emily!
