English As A Second Language

Alexandra Brennan is doing just fine in a dead end job working for people she hates in New York; until she bumps into an ex in a bar; and he tells her she'll never make it to graduate school in the UK. Never one to let a challenge pass her by; Alex applies and when she gets a place at the University of York; she finds herself on a plane to the other side of the Atlantic; wondering what on earth she's done. Armed with American cigarettes and extra-strength coffee; Alex is ready to face everything Britain has to offer - beer; blokes and more books than she can possibly read in a year. Falling for her lecturer; the divine Sean Douglas; and managing to get a Master's somewhere along the line; Alex realises that instead of running away from home; she might just have found it.
