Ich habe kein lebensveränderndes Buch erwartet, aber doch zumindest eins, das gedankliche Anstöße und Motivation gibt. Die Leseprobe empfand ich als durchaus vielversprechend, da die Autorin in einem leichten Stil persönliche Erfahrungen mit ihrer 5-Sekunden-Philosophie verknüpft. Dies hält sie auch...
A Scottish-Canadian Blethering On About Books

Holy crap, this book.I chose The Lonely Lady for the Sideboob Reading Challenge because Harold Robbins wrote it, and allegedly he was the Lord Master of sideboob fiction in the 70s. I once saw an A&E Biography on Robbins, which painted him as a "writer-celebrity". You know the type - they write some...

It started off as a pretty good historical novel, but then descended into one sex scene after another, with varied pairings to better shock the reader.

I'm warning you now: the shocking revelation at the end will not shock you. So adjust your expectations accordingly.
