The Survival Plan

Norwegian title: Overlevelsesplanen

Elin Brend Bjørhei

Village gossip. Stubborn dogs. And a man I should never fall for again…

There’s a special place in hell for men who dump their fiancée the day before the wedding. That’s where my ex, Jonas, should have been. But no, he’s still walking around unharmed in the streets of Oslo, far from hellfire and torment. You’d think it couldn’t get any worse, but yes, he also made sure I lost my job.

So what do you do when you’re dumped, broke, and desperate? I’ve chosen to move to the countryside. To Feheim, the small village I swore I’d never return to. There, I’m going to run a dog boarding kennel, even though I have no clue about dogs, but how hard can it be? I honestly only start regretting it the moment I meet Nikolai again – the boy I had a crush on as a teenager. But he’s not much of a boy anymore. He has become a man. A strikingly handsome and unapproachable man whom I should stay far away from. It’s just a shame my heart refuses to listen, especially when he looks at me like that…

The Survival Plan is a romantic and spicy novel for everyone who has headbanged to Metallica and Googled “how to get over an ex” – and still ended up crying to Taylor Swift and eating candy for dinner. A story about losing yourself and finding your way back – one calf birth, one good book, and one orgasm at a time.

The Survival Plan is the first book in a planned series.
